Before you start to learn any opening moves off by heart, there are 3 basic opening principles which are key to understand.
– Control the center
– Develop your pieces actively
– Get your king safe
In practical games it often happens that you forget the theoretical lines you studied weeks ago. As long as you understand the basic opening principles and the underlying concepts of your opening, however, it is still not too difficult to play good moves.
This video is an exclusive preview from IM Ekaterina Atalik’s new Master Method course, Atalik’s All-Around Guide for Club Players. In this section, Ekaterina focuses on the center of the chessboard, why it is so important to control, and how you can achieve this.
Following the key opening rules sound easy at first glance. However, even Grandmasters have difficulties to put these principles into practice from time to time. IM Atalik analyses two games from top level players in order to illustrate this. First, she takes a look at a game between Wenjun and Zhongyi, and then a game between Grischuk and So.
The center of the board includes the squares e4, d4, e5, and d5. When you start a game, try to control as many of these squares as you can. A primary objective of any opening strategy is to get as much control over these squares as possible. Therefore, use your
pawns and pieces to put pressure on the center early on.
IM Atalik is one of the world’s top 30 female players, and in her new course, she reveals her method for improving your play in each of stage of the game – opening, middlegame and endgame.
IM Atalik leaves no stone unturned in improving your game. The insights and advice contained in the Ekaterina Atalik Method will save you from years of hit-and-miss learning and give you powerful ideas and training methods you can put into practice right
away.
