In this video course you will learn about basic chess opening strategies, which can help you
start your chess game. Become familiar with the most famous chess trap, winning in just four
moves: Scholar's Mate - and how to defend against it. But there is so much more! You will
become acquainted with the Golden Rules of the Opening, and the importance of the centre -
and what happens if you neglect these aspects. Why it's usually not a good idea to bring your
queen out early, and how to punish this mistake. Did you know your f-pawn is the Achilles heel
of your position, and that moving it may lead to immediate catastrophe? Another typical pattern
is the bishop pinning the opponent's knight, as moving it hangs the queen. How to exploit
this weak spot in your opponent's position and learn to deal with this unpleasant motif.
Playing the opening optimally doesn't guarantee victory, but a good start to the game guides
you in the right direction. What are you supposed to do after having applied all the basic opening
principles? Plus understanding what the positions need from you in the middlegame!
50 exercises have been added, so that you can practice, and see if you are able to apply these
general opening rules. But you've got to think critically, as every position is unique, and sometimes
a standard idea might not be recommended for tactical reasons.
