The thing about this move is it can be tricky for Black to handle, but objectively, it belongs even lower on this list. Named for Henri Grob, not because the move is Grob-awful, although it is that too. Even if you do know what you're doing, do you really know what you're doing when you're doing this?Īlso, definitely don't play these in a row.
Unless you know what you're doing, these moves are inadvisable. Objectively not much worse than starting with g3 or Nf3, it's just less immediately obvious that you've played chess before when you start with d3. Imagine having to regularly say the name "Van't Kruijs" in chess conversation. I suppose it's good that the hardest opening to pronounce is an obscure one. Type 1.c3 into Google and I'm pretty sure it will ask, "Did you mean c4?" I haven't tested this hypothesis. Playing these pawns two squares forward on move one is very common. Just know that the player for whom it's named, Adolf Anderssen, beat Morphy with it once. It's hard to explain why this move is better than #17. "Pass"ĭo you ever have the white pieces but really want to play as Black? Then there is a move for you! The "Nh" in this move, on the other hand, does not have chemical significance, unless you're under the influence of chemicals when you play it. And, as happens with consuming sodium, your blood pressure will go up if you play this move too much. They call this one the Sodium Attack because the "Na" from the notation is also the chemical symbol of sodium (the Latin word was "natrium"). The bad news is you've played the knight to the edge of the board where it doesn't do very much. The good news here is you've developed a piece. Imagine if Paul Morphy began the most famous game with h3 instead, just to stop Black's bishop from coming to g4. Planning ahead is admirable but there's nothing to be afraid of here. Why would you play this move? Are you trying to keep a piece off of g4, even though none can get there yet? In this case, the blunder is immediately trying to develop your rook. if you're trying to explain Fool's Mate to someone.Īs per The Princess Bride, play this and you've fallen for one of the classic blunders. The caption: "Never, never do this." These first moves are the chess equivalent. There's an old Far Side cartoon where a guy has parked his bike at a missile silo and is staring right down an open hatch. In this article: every opening move, tiered and ranked.Ĭheck out this great video by WGM Keti Tstsalashvili:
There are 20 possible first moves in chess: each of the eight pawns can move one or two squares forward, and each of the two knights has two squares it can go to.īut not everything that is equally legal is equally advisable as a course of action.
