Best Openings for Beginners

Choosing an opening can be overwhelming for a new player. The main goal in the opening is to control the center, develop pieces quickly, and keep your king safe. For beginners, we recommend starting with simple, classical openings:

  • Italian Game: Focuses on rapid development and targeting the weak f7 square.
  • Ruy Lopez: Great for learning positional pressure and middlegame play.
  • Queen Gambit: Excellent for understanding space control and central tension.

My son started playing the Italian Game after his sessions with Coach Ananya, and he is enjoying it a lot. Very structured!
