DEVELOP PIECES
RAPIDLY
It is not a secret that the main objective of opening is
development.
Some players use this phase of the
game for quick queen checks, pawn hunt and launch of
unprepared attack.
Black to move
DON’T MOVE THE
SAME PIECE TWICE
This is a general rule to remember. Typically you want to
move each piece just once during the opening phase. Unless
there is a very good reason (serious material gain,
checkmate, etc.) to
move the piece twice, it should be avoided.
