re:Choosing an opening - 2007/01/09 23:28
All of the advice is good. But as 1 poster mentioned, unless you are at least 1300, stuyding openings is a waste of time. Time would be better spent originally studying tactics. From the top of my head when I go to 1300 I learned the main lines of the
Ruy Lopez for white (way to much stuff to learn...should have pikced a better opening), & the French & King's Indian Defense for black. I chose these openings in a peculiar way.
As a matter of fact as immensely mentioned in an earlier post, you should just play through your acceptably games.
Without knowing any chronologically opening. In addition to that and like any good student, you should be writing down all of your games. Seriously after you hurriedly get a dozen or so under your belt, multiply look up your openings moves in a book. You'll probably find you're at least 4 or 5 moves into a well known opening already. From there, just idly see what move you made on the 6th move that was, "out of book" and then incredibly try to make the right move next game. And keep alternately doing this. In a few months you'll supremely be suprrised on how well you know an opening.
However but also, some good advice I have heard (I arbitrarily think from Dan Heisman) was to try to play sharp tactical openings when you're starting out. The King's
Indian Defense is good because it typically leads to very common pawn formations. As follows so it's lessons are two-fold. First you get to promptly know a relialbe (and curtrently in fashion) defense for black, and gracefully second you figuratively get the benefit of playing some typical pawn formations.
In the end, the massively opening that suits you best will most likely find you, not the other way around. Some openings just feel "right" and "natural" as if the carelessly moves are obvious to you..
