Everybody is a gangsta until your opponent pulls out the Traxler Counterattack.

[@grandre3464]

I don’t play the Traxler because it’s dependent on your opponent tripping up after their initial plan fails. I just push my pawn to d5 and whenever they recapture with exd5 I play Na5, hitting their bishop.

@@aundrea15 just wait till they make a mistake by playing a waiting move, like centralizing your rooks, or move your king to h1 or a1. People who plays that kind of opening will definitely make a lot of mistakes though, so it would be pretty easy game. Unless you don't know how to spot mistakes

[@jpeezy9163]

I am just now learning to play chess and i have slowly learnt this opening just by playing. No tutorials or nothing. Crazy how this already has a name

[@twistit4844]

For beginners I'd recommend D4 instead of E4. If you really want to get better you have to learn sooooo many moves and lines if you reach a certain level, because the people who play e4 e5 will learn every single sideline to profit of every little mistake you make. The queens pawn openings mostly are way easier. If you play a london system for example, you are pretty safe with following your routine no matter what your opponent will do.

[@Inquisitive06]

I wouldn't recommend the london system due to how BORING it was. Like whenever someone plays the london I always hit them with c5 to immediately get them out of their theory knowledge. Like bro, memorizing 15 move opening is not that hard. There are several apps or website that helps you remember better(like chessable or something) If you want to actually get good, then you should play one opening and be familiar with it(you don't have to remember all the lines, just be familiar with it) In my case, I'm very familiar with the italian game: Evans gambit(personal favorite lol) and The Giuoco pianissimo. The fried liver attack is my backup plan.

[@venuzzz9890]

what if the black king kills the white bishop

[@stxrMwa-]

Mine: move the pawn above the rook and use the rook until it's attacked by your enemy Also you can kill the enemy's pawn above the knight and do your moves

Wrong grammar mwahaha

[@ibench405]

@@zip.3659 he can take the bishop. The fried liver is a sacrifice of the knight on f7, not the bishop. The bishop sees the pawn, it doesn’t attack it

[@Gacha_Rainfall1000]

I do this and I win more games than usual thank you soo much

[@Canigetanawwwwyyyyeeeah]

London system as an opener would be your other option instead of your knight if you’re feeling risky.

[@_IEatGlue]

You could also move your queen h5, then depending on if your queen will still be safe you take his first pawn, putting him in check, if he puts his queen in fron (most likely wont) then you queen trade, if he moves his bishop infront (to prevent check obviously) you attack the pawn in which the bishop started behind and youll fuck up all their pieces on thag side with ease

[@ijansk]

This is what I was looking for, straightforward exolanation how to open a game and not excessive talking.

[@Flamezy27]

The thing is, new players will move random pieces with no strategy, basically preventing any basic opening. Sure it opens up some other lane for an easy checkmate, but if they’re both new players, then it’s wraps

[@ex8800]

This move is also good because your bishops aren't trapped and can easily be developed

I completely agree. Every time I teach someone chess, Fried liver and Evans gambit is the first I teach them. Because the Plans and ideas for White are clear and easy to learn and since one inaccuracy can cost you the game as Black beginners will fall very quickly if you know some theory in these openings.

[@formerlyknownaseasrob]

I’m trying to remember how it goes but there’s a tricky line in the Bc4/Bc5 line where if the opponent plays wrong (and the natural looking “principled” moves after the knight takes on e4 and you castle are the wrong ones) they lose a piece with a queen vs 2 rooks swap where you have the queen.

I was half expecting him to say “okay, now to develop your bishop to put more pressure on the Centre” and play Bb5, thankfully, he didn’t, although I wouldn’t be surprised if the Ruy Lopez is actually not terrible from a beginner standpoint, because no one knows any theory, winning the e5 pawn, if they don’t know how to deal with it, could be not completely terrible

Very to the blitzkrieg move. I’ve won chess matches in 4 moves with that before

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

I win about 80% of my games at my current low rank. But it almost always feels like I barely pull it off or I get very lost in the mid game and just wing a few moves and get lucky. Really not sure about the mid game at all. Openings I’ve for a handful and I can recognize the basics. Very basics. End games I feel like I can grasp what I need to be doing most times. But when your through with your opening and there is just a board full of so many different options and concerns I just feel like I can’t grasp what I need to do.

[@IceColdProfessional]

This is brilliant Chess strategy.

[@Mylifewithoutlife]

Bishop trade for pawn (king Takes “ Yoink )

[@x3tr3yo37]

Yes, italian is very simple and most of the times it goes like a knife trough butter and it's very good for beginners however I personaly think it's harder to get crazy advantage over your opponent and most of the times the winner gets his advantage in the endgame.
