It is not a simple game to play, and it involves a lot of critical thinking, strategizing, swift decision making, and presence of mind. Your fight to winning the match starts from your very first move, so it is very important to start the game on the right foot. You need to have a flexible plan so that you can always make relevant changes and adapt to the situation. If you follow this guide, you will understand the game in-depth. We will provide you gameplay graphics and relevant explanations to ensure that you get a better insight and start playing it right from the very first move.

If you think that focusing on your pieces and pawns is enough to ensure your win, then you are absolutely wrong. Observing enemy pieces and their moves is a crucial element in this game. Whites are always the first ones to make a move. So, in this guide, we will talk about some of the best opening moves you can make as whites, and also some best defending moves you can make as blacks.

We will not only teach you some efficient opening sequences but will also enlighten you about why to use them and how to change them according to your unique gameplay.

If you know about the individual piece movements and want to have a better insight at the strategies for stepping up your game, then this is the guide for you. Chess is like a war, and think of it as a battleground before making a move. You should not make random moves and should always try to make the best likely move in every situation to gain the maximum advantage. There will be times where you will have to sacrifice some of your pieces to gain a bigger advantage. Having more material doesn't ensure you a win, but having more effective materials surely does.

The first chapter is all about the opening fundamentals. We will also review some significant historical matches. Chapter 2 and chapter 3 are going to deal with some effective openings for the Knights and pawns. The next two chapters will dive deep into playing an opening defense effectively. We will talk about the smooth proceeding to the mid-game and will discuss some effective mid-game strategies.

Chapter 1: Strong Openings Lead to Strong Games

It is very easy to understand chess, but mastering it can be really difficult. The basic agenda of the game is quite simple. All you need to do is to checkmate your enemy king. It may sound like a cakewalk, but it is certainly not. A chess match involves a lot of twists and turns, where it becomes very hard to predict what will happen in the next moment. If you want to have the upper hand in the match, then you have to make sure that you make a powerful opening.

Did you ever face a task in which you take the wrong step at the beginning, even when you clearly knew the end results? In a situation like this, all you wish to do is to recover from this situation and make up for the mess you made. If you start any task on the right foot, then achieving the end result gets a lot easier. Let me give you an example; suppose you are assembling a chair or a table. The first step in this is to make sure that you are having all the required pieces. This situation is similar to playing chess. Once you have all the pieces, you can finally start playing it.

Be it assembling a piece of furniture or playing a chess match, the sequence of operations is what matters the most. If you make a wrong move in the beginning, then you are just paving the path for your rival to offer you more obstacles later in the game. This will eventually lead you to lose the game. Failures and obstacles are not something that people like to face. It is better to start off the game with a strong opening so as to avoid maximum obstacles. For doing this, you need to have a proper end goal and a clear understanding of the steps that are going to take you towards that goal.

The only difference between assembling a piece of furniture and playing chess is that in chess, you have an opponent. The thing we will say now may sound diplomatic, but it will surely make sense in the long run.

In chess, you need to both pay and not pay attention to your opponent at the same time. This game requires a lot of strategies and tactics that you will improve as much as you practice. If your opponent makes a strong opening, then it becomes a lot harder for you to be back on track. No matter if it is defense or offense, black or white, if you successfully make a strong opening, your opponent is bound to think about what your next step will be. This is how you take control of the chessboard.

There are plenty of opening principles governing how you play. You need to keep developing your pieces and try to centralize them as soon as possible. Make sure not to leave your king unprotected; otherwise, your opponent may checkmate your king and win the game. Always try to stay one step ahead of your enemy in the territory, strategy, and material. Is it still sounding hard? Don't worry, I will help you get there. At first, you need to recognize why and how to play the defenses and offenses, and then we can get into further details.
