How I can make a good start on a chess game?

everytime I play chess, I have a bad start, and I try over 100 diferent ways, I need some tips.|||In the opening, avoid moving the same piece twice.


This will help you get your pieces activated quicker. Clear out the area between your king and rook as soon as possible so you can castle early.


Move pawn to e4 on your first move.


Then focus on controlling the center of the board.


Always capture towards the center whenever possible.


Avoid placing knights and bishops on the edge of the board.


Use pawns to support bigger pieces, never have bigger pieces support other big pieces or pawns. This will keep stronger pieces available for attacks.


Always ask yourself, "If I were my opponent, what would be my next best move?" Then find a way to prevent that move.


If you are even in material or slightly ahead, don't be afraid to trade off pieces evenly including queens. This will clear the board of clutter and make your lead more obvious. It will also make for a quicker game.


Remember that a lone bishop can only capture on 50% of the board. (White squares only, or black only depending on the bishop). But a lone knight can capture on 100% of the board. (Both colored squares as he alternates on each move.) This may be important if you have to decide which one to sacrifice or trade off near the end game.


Pawns are insignificant at first, but they become mightier as they move forward towards the eighth rank and become queens! Don't underestimate them!


Seek out a target and hit it! Whenever your opponent leaves a piece unprotected, make that your target!


Most pieces work better as a team closer together than they do apart.


Don't just watch for opportunities for forks, pins and skewers. Look for ways to create them! Entice your opponent into those situations with small sacrifices.





Bruce Pandolfini's book, Beginning Chess is the best book by far that I've seen which will train your eye to see golden opportunities that are regularly overlooked. It's a fun way to learn.





Good luck! I hope this helped!





Castle early!|||Try moving the pawn vertically in front of the queen. Move it two spaces forward. There are only 20 possible starting moves. If you are black, you have to find some way to counter your opponent's move|||do that move where you can capture the king in like 3 moves. you move the queen and bishop|||buy a game for your computer like kasprovov chess mate and also play against everyone you can a weak start can mean a bad ending cover all pieces with another pices leave no pieces unprotected unless you are willing to trade if you are make sure you can win the exchange eventually you will learn to play stronger openings also learn casteling en passing and pawn promotion|||I had your problem--my openings were awful. Until my chess teacher taught me the King Indian Defense. Its a defense that develops into an offense in the end game. Here's how it goes


Say you're white:





First, you do e4. Then you do Knight to f3. On your next move, you have the option of either doing d3 or g3. On the move after that, do the other move that you didn't do previously. Then move your bishop to g2. See where this is going? Finally, castle King side. Now you have a solid square defense. From there, some chess masters do c3. It's actually your preference. See how your opponent reacts to your defense. One tip: Try not to move that bishop on g2 till the end game, where, if you play it right, that square King Indian Defense turns into an offense that catches your opponent off guard. Good luck!|||Always remember to hold the center. move aggressively there. if you can take the center of the board your odds of winning will be much better|||I recommend using your knights. They are tricky and with a little imagination you can win alot of games.|||Begin by freeing up some of the pawns so you can make more strategic moves with your queen, bishops and rooks. Most moves have to be thought out and determined by carefully watching the opposition. Hope this helps a little.|||During the first 10 moves of the game you should:


have a least 1 pawn in the center, both Knights and both Bishops developed and be castled. Try to control the center of the board. This was some of the best beginning advice I received 35+ years ago.|||Always move your knights first.|||e4





openings are about development. You should never waste more than two pawn movements in the tbeginning phase of chess. e4 is a powerful move that attaks the center squares and allows the player to get his King's bishop out. this eases the move towards castling. your opponent will usually respond by either confronting e4 with d4 or more often blocking the e4 pawn with e5.





From here you can move your King's bishop your queen or king knight or your queen(not recommended). I usually follow e4 with c4.|||You might try making the person you are playing with gicve you a handicap.
