Chess openings ♟️ - IM Alberto Chueca and Chess Coach

Learn new chess openings and discover the main ideas of them. You mustn’t memorize the moves.

I will show you how to understand them learning the main concepts of each one.

Additionally, I will suggest you the proper chess openings you should play according to your level.

Of course, all the openings are playable but depending on the time you’ve got to study them and the rating that you’ve got, there are openings that have got more theory than others and are harder to learn them properly.

If you’ve got suggestions about openings you can write to me and I will do an article about them to explain the pros and the contras.

I think this section can be very useful to learn properly how to start in chess. I hope you like it.

World champion: Hikaru Nakamura in Reykjavik

It seems that Reykjavik is a city that only Americans can conquer, since Hikaru Nakamura recently defeated the Russian Ian Nepomniachtchi in what was a luxurious and quite complicated final that managed to satisfy the chess world for the brilliant games exhibited by both players.

The match recalls the last world championship played in the city where Bobby Fischer would defeat Boris Spasski 50 years ago, and where only Americans can taste victory.

Chess is one of the oldest games in the world and is believed to have originated in northern India around the 6th century. The earliest written records of chess date back to the 7th century, although the original form of the game was quite different from what we know today.

During the Middle Ages, chess spread throughout the Islamic world and became a popular game in Europe through Spain. By the 15th century, the game had evolved into a form closer to what we know today, with the emergence of modern pieces and the creation of new rules.

Since then, chess has been considered an intellectual game and a mental sport, and has been played by people of all ages and cultures all over the world. Chess is a game that requires skills such as strategy, long-term planning and concentration, so it is considered by many as a valuable tool for mental development.

The goal of the opening is to establish a solid and secure position for the rest of the game, and to achieve this, there are certain principles we must follow. These are:

✅ Control of the center: from the beginning, we should seek to control the central squares of the board with our pawns and pieces. This will allow us to have a better control over the rest of the board and will facilitate the development of our pieces.

✅ Rapid development of the pieces: We should try to develop our pieces towards the center of the board as soon as possible. In this way, we can improve their mobility and have more tactical options available.

✅ Connecting the rooks: It is important to connect our rooks to have a better defense of the king and to have more attacking options in the future.

✅ Protection of the king: We must try to protect our king as soon as possible, by castling, placing it in a safe place and avoiding weaknesses in our position.

✅ Avoiding unnecessary moves of the queen: The queen is the most powerful piece in the game and its premature exit can result in the opponent attacking it and gaining time in the development.

By following these basic principles, we can establish a good position in the opening and be in a better position for the rest of the game. Remember that the opening is just the beginning and that every move counts in chess.

We hope you found these principles useful!
