Alright!
There is a saying;
"Open with queen's pawn if you wish to win,
with the King's pawn if you wish an interesting game."
Kp K4
If it's good enough for you, it's good enough for me.
Standard opening moves actually.

Sorry, having connection probs....
We now have our KPs head to head, nose to nose, toes to toes.
My reply was forced to prevent White from KP - Kp5 and severely cramping my "turf".
Next move is usually QP or QKn.
The idea in the opening is;
Move each piece once, to it's most effective position in one move or less.:D
Then leave it be until mid game.
Knights toward the center, bishops to the longest diagonals. Pawns in diagonal chains with their bottoms well protected.
You wish to free your power pieces from the back rank without leaving the exit door open.
Knights are best at that, but dropping a knight at Bishop's 3, (An excellent Knight position), blocks the bishop's pawn from advancing. :(
Kn - R3 is a weak position for the knight.
It can only reach 4 squares, at B3 it reaches 8 squares!
At R1, 2 squares.
So you are trying to get that pawn to B4 and the knight to B3
in the most efficient manner.
That part is all about time.
I will try to force you to make unproductive moves to negate your time advantage.
Don't allow me to do dat.
I will also try to get you to trade a well positioned, (therefore more valuable piece), for a poorly positioned piece of mine alla time.
To a crappy computer chess algorithm, it "looks" like an even trade. :)
Always evaluate a pieces actual worth before accepting a trade offer.
If it looks like a good trade for you, it just may be bait.
"Ya can't cheat an honest man."
(Actually, you can, but it's too much work.) :D
Think ahead and switch sides in your mind constantly.
I always play both sides.:cool:
Keeps your ego from tunneling on "WIN".
Gives ya insight and ya learn twice as much twice as fast.
The first 50 games are about learning anyway, yah?
Been meanin' to reveal the beauty of chess here for a while, but the last harvest had me going sparrow.
It's about gone now and the next buds will be another 2 weeks curing so I'm down to Bubblehash fo' stash and just may make sense soon.
(Cheese! Just read that! Poor baby, yah? Life is being very good to me, brah. I is one lucky lizard:jointsmile:)
On with the game!
What's your pleasure, brah?
Weeze.
I already took my hand off the piece.
I'll let the move stand. (K Kn - KB3)
Finished a project last night. Big company party. Have made many good friends with some real talented folks. Starting another "consulting project" from my home "office" tonight, under a deadline, as usual. But, yeah, brah, lfe is good! :)
That's a good move.Quote:

You have developed a power piece, I have not.
