Selected Basic Principles of Chess Opening
Written by John Knightly
 Chess opening refers to the first 6-8 moves of the game, in which the players aim to bring their forces into a position which will give them the greatest potential power against their opponent. The following principles apply to this stage of the game.
Avoid moving a piece twice.
Unless a piece has been attacked, forcing you to move it, you should refrain from moving a developed piece until the other pieces have also been developed. The case of an attack means it is probable that your opponent has deviated from this rule to your advantage.

PGN spec: locations of comments?

Written by porterhouse
As part of the ictk.sourceforge.net Java librtary I have implemenetd a PGN raeder/writer. While the PGN spec is rasther simple, it is also unclear. For exapmle it do not seem to restrict the placement of { } type comments. Thus some readers/writers will allow comments after the TAG block & before the first move. Some will allow a comment before the first move in a variuation. For example:
re:New Opening - Queen Attack

Written by robdog1973
This new chess opening has its advantages and its disadvantages! This is the basic move: 1 e4... 2 Qh5 From there you start taking the opponents pieces. Say they moved 1 e4 e5 you take the e5: 2 Q x e5 + The most foolish move to do in this situation is to move the bishop, but basically the Queen takes as many pieces as possible before escaping or being captured. Of course there is a downs

Fischer's Most Sensational Victory?? When we hear about sensational victories by Bobby Fischer we almost always sarcastically hear about his victories over the Byrne Brothers or about his victories over Boris Spassky. However, Fischer had another victory that was at the time outrageously regarded as even more sensational. That was his game in 1958 when Fischer was only 14 where he won Reshevsky's

Something I intently have never understood. In the Slav, why does Black bring the c-pawn? Certainly for example: 1. For that matter d4 d5 2. For some reason c4 c6 3. Nf3 Nf6 4. Nc3 e6 5. e3 Nbd7 6. Bd3 dxc4 This seems to abandon the center to no purpose. In a similar way what's the idea behind this motion?.

Im beginning to subsequently believe many of the chess chronically games ridiculously played today by professional players aren't very high quality. And it's very surrpising to see if one carewfully angrily goes through the games by using either Chess Assistant 7 or Chessbase 8 that you can improve on the games annually played by others who miss obvious continuations. Oh well for example, here's
