{"Image DocumentName": "A Beginner s Garden of Chess Openings", "Image ImageDescription": "The first moves of a chess game are termed the opening or opening moves . A good opening will. provide better protection of the King, control over an area of the board (particularly the center), greater. mobility for pieces, and possibly opportunities to capture opposing pawns and pieces. The possible opening moves of chess have been extensively studied for hundreds of years, and many of. these sequences have been given names to simplify discussion of a game. This document briefly lists a few of the more well-known chess openings, so that when you see the first few. moves you can at least say Ah! That s the X! , where X is some well-known opening. Many books and. encyclopedias give how to play information on each opening; here, we ll concentrate on at least knowing. some common approaches to starting chess. This is a small subset of well-known openings; many others are. not covered here. Before you play a particular opening, you d be wise to study it in more depth than given. here. Pictures show the opening position; selecting the picture will show the opening moves animated one. move at a time if you have a PGN viewer installed. In all openings there is a struggle for key territory, in particular the center squares, and an effort to deploy. pieces and pawns in useful positions. Some are direct, while others are more subtle and indirect approaches. toward these goals.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
