| | Chess openings: Uncommon King's Pawn Opening (B00) |
 | | Though white can open up the position with moves like a4, black has an easy enough time covering the king without full pawn coverage. | | | I've played a few dozen games with it, and the main challenge for black has been holding enough space in the center without weakening the pawn structure. | | | As the Karpov-Miles game shows, it's easy for white to play too ambitiously versus this rather solid opening. |

| | Chess opening - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Catalan Opening is characterized by White forming a pawn center at d4 and c4 and fianchettoing her king's bishop. | | | If White opens with 1.Nf3, the game often becomes one of the d4 openings (closed games or Indian systems) by a different move order (this is called transposition), but unique openings such as the Réti and King's Indian Attack are also common. | | | It is therefore normal for both players to either castle in the opening (simultaneously developing one of the rooks) or to otherwise bring the king to the side of the board via artificial castling. |

| | Passed pawns are given a bonus for increasing rank which is a function of stage of the game and of whether the opponent blocks or attacks one or more squares in front of the pawn or if the opponents king is in the square of the pawn. | | | Pawn Advancement in the centre is given a bonus of about 4 points per rank in the opening increasing to about 8 points per rank in the ending. | | | Backward pawns (defined simply as not being defended by a pawn with the square in front also not defended by a a pawn) are penalized 6 points. |

| | The Colle is a Queen's pawn opening with possibilities for a king-side attack that has attracted the attention of players such as Anand, Svidler and Yusupov. | | | At the price of a pawn Black can restrain the White development and aim to attack the opposing King, as most often castling on opposite sides is seen. | | | Garry Kasparov is the strongest chess player of our time and a great personality who can represent the sport like no other chess professional. |

| | The reason is when I open 1.e4 and we play a double king pawn, my second move is 2.d4. | | | But this line in the Catalan with Qa4+ and Qxc4 is not as good as the Catalan Gambit for White, where he eschews the immediate recapture of the pawn in favor of development. | | | Anyone interested in the Reti-Catalan opening should study these notes carefully, because they reveal a lot of the critical ideas in that opening, particularly the early move-order that both sides should use. |

| | World Chess Championship : 1974 Karpov - Korchnoi Candidates final |
| | Korchnoi played aggressively and, while still in the opening, sacrificed a pawn in return for an attack against the castled king. | | | The players repeated the opening of game 3 until Korchnoi varied with his 8th move. | | | Korchnoi varied from previous games on his 7th move, but the opening transposed back to those games with one move less for each player. |

| | Chess openings: Bird's Opening (A02) |
| | To me, Bird's Opening is questionable because it loosens the king's pawn shield far too early. | | | : This is the most effective opening for weak players when they play with strong players. | | | what i mean is, i am in a tournament, and i know what opening my oponent is going to make, the bird, is it smart to do the moves i described? |

| | King's Indian Defence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Typically, White will try to attack on the queen-side by preparing c4-c5, while Black will attack on the king-side by moving his king's knight and starting a pawn storm to attack White's king. | | | The King's Indian is a "hypermodern" opening, where Black lets White take the center with the view to later ruining White's "wonderful" position, often by an attack on White's king. | | | The King's Indian Defence is a chess opening that begins 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 followed by...Bg7 and...d6. |

| | Humpy becomes the youngest woman ever to become a Grandmaster |
| | WIM Moser Eva sacrificed a pawn(5th move) early in the opening to take the initiative and to develop king side attack, but humpy moved her d pawn to d5 square to undermine e4 pawn and got control over f5 square and in the center after that the game slowly turned in to Humpys favor. | | | In the 39th move Humpy made a dubious pawn sacrifice in the king side and obtained two clear passers on the queenside but the position is unclear till the end of the game. | | | She played her queen side rook to "e1" square in move 18 and planned a combination in the 20th move by playing "ef5" to open "e" file against blacks queen at "e7" resulting in netting a minor piece on the 27th move. |

| | In the girls championship, Korbut sacrificed a pawn on the 11th move to gain some attack on the rival king. | | | Whites one pawn advantage was not sufficient to give the Indian a point since Ferenc, a former under-18 world champion, was defending the position with mathematical precision, and the game ended in a draw after 50 moves. | | | On the top board, WGM Elisabeth Paehtz, who was jointly leading with Korbut after the 12th round, was shocked by Indias Krutika Nadig in an English opening in 70 moves, while Eesha Karavade defeated Zhang Jilin of China in a Ruy Lopez opening in 64 moves. |

| | The Colle is a Queen's pawn opening with possibilities for a king-side attack that has attracted the attention of players such as Anand, Svidler and Yusupov. | | | Although 1.d4 tends to a quieter game in the early stages it can lead to some of the most combative games played on a chess board. | | | The reason for this is that the player of the white pieces has usually assimilated much better the laws governing this opening and the plans to be adopted. |
