Posted: Chess Opening Moves
One person says one, Another 2
Which is better one or 2?
Its ALL about the center of the board. Usually the e or d pawn move forward to gain control of those key four center most squares, and then the power struggle begins. There are many different openings and variations & reactions to your opponents moves, but they all have to do with who controls the center of the board.
Your best bet is to learn and practice 3 standard opening sequences for white, and 2 for black. Stick with them for a long time, until you know how they work very well. Then you can venture out and learn more.
I would reccomend…
Look into: Italian, ruy lopez (spanish), scotch, Queens gambit accepted and declined. Also the English, Scandanavian, French defense, Alekhines defense (I like it, but a little tough at first), & Kings Indian.
Many more to try, but the best one is the one that suits your style, and that takes time to learn. Get a basic book on chess or openings to see how they work.
New chess players should steer towards the "e-pawn openings" these games usually open up the middle of the board. This is because the middle pieces often exchange from those openings. D-pawn games can sometimes be "stand-offish" with both players making minimal moves waiting for the opponent to make a mistake. Such a game does not help a new player learn the game basics of chess as quickly.
move the pawn in front of the king forward one space

pawn e4 (that means move the pawn in front of the king 2 spaces). this moves helps open the line for one of your bishops and helps you control the center, which is important in the game of chess.

it is either d4 or e4 (both moves are two spaces), depends on which opening u are playing. do some research on sicilian(e4), queen’s gambit(d4), king’s gambit(e4) and four knights defence (e4 or d4). it really doesnt matter whether u move the pawn in front of the queen or the king, but i usually move d4, the pawn in front of the queen two spaces forward.
the reason to move them two pieces forward is so that u can advance ur pawns towards the enemy’s territory, and advance ur knights and bishops so that u can castle and make ur king safer.

I varies by player. I was partial to e4, some are partial to d4. (I won’t discuss their sexual proclivities.:))
c4 has a sizable minority and we won’t even get into the people that think Nf3 is a good first move.:)

i usually move one of my knights out first but it really depends on the player and how good you are
