Site under construction. The process of elimination is still on-going. A bunch of games have been stacked in here for consideration but many will not make the final cut. Note to self: Move the 60's and 70's upto the top 10, but take note of the 20's as well. The 190's need consideration for elevation.

Note to self: The Italian Game c3's have been removed. There were too many branches for a novice. Note to readers: Obviously, there are far too many games in here yet. Half of them will be removed at some point after I consider what's available and what's the best progression/relationship for a self-taught player. There is no perfect opening; some are better than others. An amateur player is not a grandmaster and has different needs. Amateur players need to start at opposite ends: basic endgames (forced checkmates and pawn endings that promote a pawn to a new piece) and then develop, castle and attack, attack, attack from the opening!!

A BEGINNER SHOULD PLAY OVER THE FIRST FIVE GAMES ON TOP OF THE LIST AGAIN AND AGAIN UNTIL EACH CAN BE RECALLED WITHOUT LOOKING; KNOW THE NAME OF THE OPENING AND THE CHECKMATE PATTERN. White wins the first five games because Black moved the flank pawns instead of center pawns and/or kept moving the same one piece over and over again instead of bringing out both Knights and Bishops quickly off the back rank. Remember: Center Pawn-Knight-Bishop is the general order for White. Make ready to use your entire army to fight! White begins w/a center pawn and keeps moving a different unit/soldier toward the center each turn w/a focus on the center and the f7 square.

For Black, it depends upon what White does. Black reacts to White and ANTICIPATES White's next move. Always try to figure out WHAT WILL MY OPPONENT DO NEXT? You can't figure out every possible move, but do try to find the BEST move that worries you the most -- the move you don't want to see happen. The best move is the most punishing move, one that causes problems or captures your army. The opponent is trying to hurt your army by removal or restriction! Then decide what you can do to interrupt his plan.

The best way to start a game is with one or both center pawn(s) to let out the bishops and queen. Advancing the knights is also a strong early move as they cover more squares than a pawn. Of all the pieces, the knights HATE sitting on the edge of the board! Bring those knights toward the middle! Try to move a different unit/soldier on each of the first five moves. That's five moves, five different units... unless there's a checkmate or capture available.

Don't move the f-pawn (unless you memorized the exact book theory of that particular opening)! Moving the f-pawn exposes thy king to checks on the diagonals and if you put your piece on the exposed diagonal it will be pinned to thy king. Don't move the flank pawns on the outside unless they have a specific target already in place.

"Mobility is all-important in chess." -- Dr. Siegbert Tarrasch. Make certain all your pieces on the back rank are free to move so you can use them when you need them. Move a couple of center pawns and try to keep them protected. You must be strong in the center!! If you move too many pawns, it's too hard to keep them all protected. (Pawns are generally safest on their original pawn row -- the 2nd and 7th ranks. It's O.K. to leave most of your pawns back there, especially the flank pawns.) It's much, much better to play with your speedy pieces off the back rank because they cover more ground and make more threats to more squares, and they can go backwards if they get in trouble. A pawn can never return home.

Chess is a game of frequent captures (but not all captures are good). First, you must take aim with your units at the opposing army. Aim at a more important piece like the opposing king or queen (or maybe your pawn aims to take a knight or bishop), or fire at two pieces at the same time usually on the same line so only one can get away. However, before you make a capture, you'd better ask "Why is s/he letting me capture this piece? Did s/he mess up and it's safe to capture now, or does s/he actually want me to make this capture now?" In most cases, you should capture a more valuable piece unless you see a very good reason not to -- you must prevent something else from happening first. It's difficult to win if you don't make some captures, so get busy aiming at/into the opposing army with ideas of making captures.

Some people say "Don't bring the queen out too early where she'll be attacked and forced to waste time retreating away from capture." Yes, that is real good advice in most situations but it's certainly wise to bring out the queen immediately if she can checkmate the opponent! The object of the game of chess is to checkmate your opponent anyway you can with any unit/soldier possible. It's O.K. if half your army gets wiped out so long as you deliver checkmate in the end. Fight for the win! If the Black knights come out right away, then the White queen usually has to stay back for awhile where it's safe. The queen is a powerful piece, but it's O.K. to allow her to get captured if you have a sure-fire checkmate next. Legall's Mate is a good example of a sitting queen sacrifice that's worthwhile because the knights and bishop execute checkmate immediately after she's taken. However, in other instances, if your queen gets captured and you do not have checkmate coming, you are far more likely to lose the game without her.

Tactics, you ask? The most common tactic is a "fork" where one unit attacks two opposing units at the same time; one of the two under attack can get away on it's next turn but the other does not have time to escape the fork (only one move per turn, obviously). Every chess unit from king to pawn can execute a fork between two opposing units if it can get close enough. The next tactic is the "pin" where a long range piece (bishop, rook or queen) aims through a lesser unit at a more important unit on the same line of attack. The less valuable unit dare not move out of the way because the more important unit will be lost to capture (or the king will be in check). It's important to keep an eye on what you have lined up with your king or queen because that line is vulnerable to pins from afar. A "discovered attack" is also a deadly tactic. In a discovery, the unit in front moves away at just the precise time to allow the unit behind it to become unmasked with an attack. It's like opening the front door and letting the bulldog out to bite the door-to-door salesman! (Well, that's not nice, but this is chess -- a battle of two opposing armies.) The bottom line is to always look for: 1) All possible Checks (against a more important piece) now or next move (as long as there is a strong follow-up after the check), 2) Captures & Recaptures/Not yet (Zwischenzug)-- Then what happens after that?, 3) Pawn Promotions (to make a new knight or queen later in the game), and 4) Not this turn, but next turn. Use this turn to make a Threat that prepares Check, Capture or Pawn Promotion on your next turn. Maybe it's a case of getting one unit out of the way to make room for the other unit. Perhaps you need to castle first, then go on the attack. Often, you notice what the opponent will do to get away, so you first prevent him from getting away, then you make your Threat and he gets caught. First block or cut-off the escape, or remove the key defender, then blast him! 5) Dual Tactical Targets where your one unit can take aim at two opposing units at the same time. Two come under attack, but only one can move to get away. 6) Form batteries, adding attackers/reinforcements to hot spots already under attack to outnumber the defenders (or attack the defenders directly to get rid of them from defendants). Instead of attacking 1 against 2, you are now attacking 2 against 1, or 3 against 2, etc. Coordinate your pieces to fire upon a key target in unison. This can be a battery on the same straight line, or a crossfire coming from different sides. 7) Seize open lines and Penetrate weak squares between/beside or behind opposing pawns. Every pawn move leaves weak squares behind it. If one of the opposing bishops has been removed off the board, try to operate on the same color of squares as the missing bishop. One bishop is always on the dark squares, the other is always on the light squares. If one is removed, it leaves a weak color complex on the board. 8) Blockade weak pawns: Backward, doubled, isolated, and passed pawns. In general terms, these are pawn(s) which are not protected by another pawn. Aaron Nimzowitsch is the man to study for this topic, or almost any former world champion before Mikhail Tal.

What are the top targets? Attack a more valuable unit, or one that's free for the taking, especially one that is immobile, stuck on it's square. The 1) king is the top target, which is priceless and the 2) queen is next. The queen is worth almost two rooks or three minor pieces by comparison. After that, it's any pawn or piece in the 3) middle, especially undefended units w/no protection, and any stuck piece that 4) cannot move (or dare not move from it's guard duty).

Most good moves aid/accomplish more than one task. (For example, opening 1.e4 strikes out into the center but also allows the queen and bishop to get off the back row.) Furthermore, most good moves suggest certain follow up moves to form a sequence of moves -- a brief plan. If you can't explain what you're going to do next after that making a certain move, then it's probably not the best move. Have a good reason for making this move, and the next move!

Finally, remember World Champion Lasker's sage advice: "When you see a good move -- WAIT!! Be patient, sit on your hands and keep looking; you might find a better move. Consider a move for each of his pieces, and each of your pieces. Compare and contrast. Which one is best of all? If this is the best move, then what is the best response? Should the response be prevented first? You must spend as much time, perhaps even more time, thinking about his army and it's move options first, then your own army. Know thy enemy! How can s/he hurt me? What would s/he do next if s/he had the move now?

O.K., way too much information but it's good information. Let's get to the first five games. (If you have a qualified chess instructor, have them teach you the ENDGAME first.) Under these internet circumstances, I must start at the beginning of the game.

Printed in the Divided States of America under siege of fantasizing liberals who wipe their noses with the Constitution because they think it's unfair. Social Progressives are liberals for the uninformed (especially including the dishonest news media propaganda). Only they know best who belongs in what bathroom as normal, natural is now socially unjust so anybody can give themselves the right to pee in the stall next to a nine-year-old girl. They seek lawlessness and disturbances for the cause, yet strict enforcement of laws and selective discrimination upon property/business owners, police, Christian religions, farmers, fat people, short people, retirees, cab drivers and those taxpayers who work for a living. They seek to replace the House of Representatives with Nirvana and put Cheech and Chong in the Senate. Richard Pyror (that's Pryor, not Simmons) would be the ideal president, followed by another fork-tongued Klenton whose been in public office for 30 years and still promises to fix everything that was never fixed. After all, she left the White House "flat broke" to her New Yourk penthouse yet she's still fighting for us common folk. Yeah, right.

Girls in the Boy Scouts? Boys in the Girl Scouts?? C'mon people!

That about sums it up. Until the next time I read this.

* Here's a link to Dr. Siegbert Tarrasch playing his QGD Tarrasch Defense! It is an active defense to queen pawn and flank openings, often resulting in an isolated pawn for Black. The Tarrasch Defense is better than the Englund Gambit provided here, but yields a different type of game because the pawn structure is different. (Fredthebear believes "The Game of Chess" by Tarrasch is one of the very best instructional chess books ever written!! It was originally written in descriptive notation, but has been reprinted in algebraic notation. It's too much information for beginners, but all intermediates should read it!!) http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches...
