1. Do not move the queen during the opening as this wastes valuable time & she may well come under attack from minor pieces

Originally posted by SquelchbelchIt's not a rule, and it's "Do not move your Queen during the opening unless you have a good reason."..either way more of guidelines for people who try to checkmate on f7/f2 in the 1st few moves

Originally posted by GreatSantiniMany of the moves took me by surprise as well.
That game made me ill. Black played like a small child that barely knew how the pieces moved.
2...f6 & 15...Rc8 were interesting choices.
He/she challenged me in an open invite. Hope I haven't put them off using the site!😀
don't move pawns in the opening, don't move the same piece multiple times, don't bring your queen out early.
danielsen's interpretation of the subject: 1 knight move, 2 queen moves and 11 pawn moves out of the first 14 moves in the game. and he crushed luther. 🙂 oh, and there's no castling either.

2.do not move side pawns, as this usually a waste of move.
all except najdorf sicilian i beliee
3.do not move king side pawns, this is very dangerious.
well there is 2 good openings with 1f4 and 1g4, so those are expections

White's first 17 moves are pawn moves, yet he still manages to win!

Tal usually goes nuts after playing normal openings...but the opening goes crazy very quickly.

Originally posted by lauseyI played that for a while myself, the Qa5 variation, never liked the icelandic version... (not sure of exact name Nf6, e6 etc) but got bored of it, the games were very open and always tended to trade down to an almost immediate endgame, if that makes any sense!?
I would say the centre counter game is an opening that is an exception to the rule:

Originally posted by YugaSo it would seem, but isn't one of the reasons that it is sound, the fact that black has already moved one of his knights more than once as well?
