{ #Principle 1Ô∏è‚É£
Fight for the central squares

There are 64 squares on the chessboard, however the 4 squares that I mark in green (e4, e5, d4, d5) are the most important, since they are the most centralized.

Now that you know that they are important, you should know that it is also very important to fight for these squares, and the player who has better control of these 4 squares will usually have the advantage.

You should always keep in mind the control of the center. [%csl Gd5,Ge5,Ge4,Gd4] } *

The development of your pieces is one of the most important things in the opening, since it is necessary to develop your pieces to have a good game.

{ #Principle 3Ô∏è‚É£
Take your king away from the center

The best way to move your king away from the center is with castling, since with this your king will be protected by your pawns and will feel much more comfortable.
This must be done so as not to receive dangerous attacks from your opponent, if you don't want this then do it before the first 10 moves.

The 2 castings are good, you just have to know that although the O-O is safer, the O-O-O can provide you with more possibilities to attack. [%csl Re1][%cal Ge1g1,Ge1c1] } *

Don't move your queen in the opening

Yes, the queen is the most powerful piece in chess, but it is for this very reason that it is not good to make a move with it in the opening, since another piece of less value can attack it and it will be forced to move again.

Your opponent has moved the queen in the first moves, how can you attack it with one of your pieces? [%csl Rd5][%cal Rd8d5] } 1. Nc3 { That's it! Your opponent has to move the queen.

Don't move too many pawns in the opening

Use your pawns to fight for the center, but it is not good to use them unnecessarily, instead, you must develop your pieces.

Let's look at an example of why you shouldn't make a lot of moves with your pawns.

This principle is very close to principle 2, develop your pieces. You know that you must develop your pieces, but you will think, where? Here is the answer, towards the center.
Whenever you can, try to move your pieces towards the center of the board to have a better control of the central squares as the white pieces do in this position of the queen's gambit. [%cal Gg1f3,Gb1c3] } *

Don't give up the bishop pair on the first moves

The 2 bishops together can be very POWERFUL, as they can control a large number of squares, but if one bishop disappears from the board, the other will no longer be as strong. You should not give up the bishop pair in the opening, rather you should use this to have a better game.

We are in a position of Ruy Lopez, your opponent attacks your bishop which you should not surrender, so the best thing here is to withdraw your bishop to a4, but just to continue talking about this principle I ask you to capture that knight.

{ #Principle 9Ô∏è‚É£
Open the position according to your development

There are many players who do not know this, if this is your calm case, I will explain it to you. When you have a good development of your pieces a good idea is to look for a pawn move that helps to open columns and diagonals, but if you are behind in development then you should try to maintain the closed position.

Again this is a Ruy Lopez position, you have 2 pieces developed while your opponent only 1, so you have a better development and you must open the position to take advantage of it.

How can you open the position with any of your pawns? } 1. d4 { Very good! This is what you should do when you have a good development, but remember, if you are behind in development stay in a closed position. } *

{ Principle 10
Connect your towers

Once you have developed all your pieces (as in this position), you should try to connect your rooks, this so that they help each other and have better "communication" in your games. To do this you must move your queen to the 2nd file (7th file if you play with the black pieces.)

Play Qc2 [%csl Gc2][%cal Gd1c2] } 1. Qc2 { Your rooks are now connected!
Normally when this happens it is a sign that the opening is over, and that is where the midgame really begins, where whoever had a better start (if you follow these 10 principles it will be you) will be better and will have a better game. [%cal Ga1f1,Gf1a1] } *

This time I want to talk to you about a topic that may interest you, since I want to talk to you about @LeninPerez's favorite openings, their ideas, and why they are my favorites (they can also be your favorites, that's why I recommend that you stay in the study).

Before we start, I would like you to squeeze the ❤️ that is under study to motivate me to do more studies, as more and more studies will come soon if you want.

Now, let this wonderful study begin! } *

{ In position 5 is the Caro-Kann Defense.

When it comes to playing with black pieces against 1.e4, I usually play the Caro-Kann defense on many occasions, since it is a calm defense and you can feel very safe with it, since you will never have complications or complex positions to play.

The moment your opponent plays 1.e4, the Caro-Kann defense is characterized by responding with 1.c6 (do it now) } 1... c6 { This is the Caro-Kann Defense.
His idea is to counterattack in the center with a quick d5, always on the second move.
I have a study on the Caro-Kann Defense, and in fact, it is my most popular study, you might want to visit it: https://lichess.org/study/jtlLwUvh [%csl Gd5][%cal Gc7c6,Gd7d5] } 2. d4 { Now you must counter in the center with 2.d5 [%cal Gd7d5] } 2... d5 { Your opponent can follow in various ways, but rest assured, you will never be at risk with this solid defense. } *

{ In position 4 is my beloved London System.

The London System was one of the first openings that I studied and one of the ones that gave me the best results, that is one of the reasons why I am very fond of it.

This is not only one of my favorite openings, it is also current world champion Magnus Carlsen's favorite opening, thanks to how safe and robust the London System can be.

To play the London System you must start your games with 1.d4 [%csl Gd4][%cal Gd2d4] } 1. d4 Nf6 { Now play your second move, 2.Bf4 [%csl Gf4][%cal Gc1f4] } 2. Bf4 { This is the London System! :D } 2... d5 { Your third move is 3.e3 [%csl Ge3][%cal Ge2e3] } 3. e3 e6 { Now develop your knight [%csl Gd2][%cal Gb1d2] } 4. Nd2 c5 { When your opponent makes c5 you have to form the pyramid of pawns with c3 [%csl Gc3][%cal Gc2c3] } 5. c3 { Great job! [%csl Gb2,Gc3,Gd4,Ge3,Gf2] } 5... Nc6 { Now develop your bishop in the best square [%csl Gf1] } 6. Bd3 { Very good! } 6... Be7 { And now develop your knight [%csl Gg1] } 7. Ngf3 { You have done it very well!

{ In the top 3 is the Sicilian Defense.

Who doesn't like the Sicilian Defense? If it is the most popular defense in chess, and one of the ones that provides the best result, and it is always a good option to fight 1.e4, and in fact, it is the defense that I use the most, and one of the most used by best chess players.

I have several studies on this defense, but if you want me to do more you can tell me, I will be very attentive to your comment.

(Answer 1.e4 with 1.c5) [%csl Gc5][%cal Gc7c5] } 1... c5 { This is the Sicilian Defense.
His main idea is to prevent the white spies from getting a good center with d4, since by doing 1.c5 we control that square. [%csl Rd4][%cal Rd2d4,Bc5d4] } 2. Nf3 { I'm going to leave it until here, since the Sicilian Defense has many variations and your head can explode, but don't worry, I have a study in which I explain ALL these variations: https://lichess.org/study/jsSks17H
You could put pressure on the heart in that study as it is very close to 10,000 :) } *

[Variant "Standard"]

{ I have had many doubts when choosing which of the last 2 are my favorite openings, but I think I already have a decision, and in position 2 is ... The Queen's Gambit!

The Queen's Gambit is one of the most popular openings in chess, and one of the first to be taught to those who are just starting out, but don't be fooled, this is not why it is a bad opening, in fact it is one of the most popular openings.

Used throughout the years by all chess champions, I really love the Queen's Gambit and feel very comfortable when I play it.

If you also want to play it, you must start your games with 1.d4 [%csl Gd4][%cal Gd2d4] } 1. d4 d5 { Now play 2.c4 [%csl Gc4][%cal Gc2c4] } 2. c4 { Did this move seem weird to you? If so, I understand you, you are delivering a pawn, but although it seems this is the opposite.
Yes, you are giving up a pawn, but in exchange for better control of the center, better development, and furthermore, you will soon get that pawn back if your opponent decides to take it. } 2... e6 { That is why most of the time your opponent will reject your gambit like now with e6.
Develop your knight [%csl Gb1] } 3. Nc3 { Very good... } 3... Nf6 { Now play Bg5 [%csl Gg5][%cal Gc1g5] } 4. Bg5 Be7 { After a few moves, you must break the central tension and play cxd5 [%cal Gc4d5] } 5. cxd5 exd5 { And now you can have this game idea.
Yes, as you can see it is very simple, your pieces go to standard squares, and everything seems normal, but you have an amazing game, that's what I really love about this opening.
If you want to know much more about the Queen's Gambit, then you can visit my studio: https://lichess.org/study/JkPnQ5g5 [%cal Gd1c2,Ge2e3,Gg1f3,Gf1d3,Ga1c1,Ge1g1] } *

[Variant "Standard"]

{ Here is my favorite opening.

I like it a lot because I consider her to be one of the main chess openings, because of how comfortable I feel when playing, and because of the good results that she has given me. And my favorite opening is... Ruy Lopez (or Spanish Opening) I think these are one of the reasons why the Ruy Lopez opening is one of the most used openings by the best chess players, and although it is one of the oldest, it continues to remain in the elite throughout the years, I really love this opening.

To play this opening you must start your games with 1.e4 [%csl Ge4][%cal Ge2e4] } 1. e4 e5 { Develop your knight [%csl Gg1] } 2. Nf3 Nc6 { And your third move, 3.Bb5 [%csl Gb5][%cal Gf1b5] } 3. Bb5 { This is the Ruy Lopez, my favorite opening!
Your opponent has a lot of moves now, so be prepared to play against each defense. } 3... a6 { Your bishop is questioned, what should he do? [%csl Gb5] } 4. Ba4 { Your bishop must stay on this diagonal for as long as possible! [%cal Ga4e8] } 4... Nf6 { [%csl Gg1][%cal Rf6e4,Ge1g1] } 5. O-O b5 6. Bb3 Be7 { Now if your opponent threatens your e4 pawn, play Re1 [%csl Re4,Ge1][%cal Rf6e4,Gf1e1] } 7. Re1 { I explain this and more about the Ruy Lopez Opening in this study: https://lichess.org/study/ZkCxh0nB } *
