Tactical openings - 2005/12/14 02:34
I`m a relative beginner -- I just got serious about the game, after years of playing socially. Following advice I`ve seen in several places, I`m trying to play games that let me get a lot of practice with tactics. On white, I play the King`s Gambit and the Black-Diemar Gambit, and I`ve had a lot of fun, gotten to a lot of tactics and even won a few games; on black, however, I haven`t had much luck finding anything similar. I`ve been trying the Dragon, but the problem is I never get the opportunity to play tactically, as I keep getting buried in the opening; I`ve been told by at least one person that there`s no point in playing the Dragon unless you`re willing to spend all your spare time learning the theory. The same person told me that I ought to try the Latvian gambit. Anybody got any advice?
Please note that I don`t particularly care if the opening is completely sound -- I just want something that`s playable around the 1500 level and that doesn`t take years to learn. Thanks in advance.
