Chess which moves first




















I had someone who thought they could move a pawn forward one square and immediately capture because "the pawn can move twice from its starting position'.

That's a lot better than what I thought at first. I thought the guy wanted 2 moves as White but Black would still only get 1 move! Only time I've ever heard of it is when you invoke King's privilege, three moves to your opponent's one. White moving twice for in the first turn actually puts him at a disadvantage if black can then move twice. I'd have asked them if they thought a pawn could move like a knight, then could my knight move like a pawn? I always used to think that the bishops could only move up to 3 squares at a time.

Where that rule came from is a complete mystery to me. The bishop only moved to the second square diagonaly, allowed to "jump" the pieces that are eventualy in the way. I too think someone explained the two-square pawn step to him and he kind of misunderstood it Never heard of it, but two-move chess sounds familiar- that's when you move two moves every turn.

I meet a guy who said he can start a game moving a pawn for two square or two pawn for one square. I'll think he was fooling me! Forums General Chess Discussion. Jan 19, 1. This opening is tricky to play and correct play of it is counter-intuitive immediate center control is not a goal, since Black is trying to undermine that control.

Now we look at openings other than "1. The Queen's Gambit starts with: 1. Black can accept the gambit with dxc4, playing "Queen's Gambit Accepted", which is a risky way to play this gambit. This is a "hypermodern" opening, where Black lets White take the center with the view to later ruining White's "wonderful" position. It's a risky opening, a favorite of both Kasparov and Fischer.

Nc3 Bg7 Black will be interested in playing c5, and when White plays d5, reply with e6 and b5. All of these "Indian" defenses start with: 1. In the Nimzo-Indian, White tries to create a pawn center and mass his pieces behind behind them for attack. The Dutch defense starts as: 1. Black immediately begins to move toward White's kingside in an attempt to crush White.

However, it also creates weaknesses in Black's position from the beginning - this move of the f-pawn weakens Black's defenses and doesn't help develop pieces. The English opening is a "flank" manuever. It starts very differently: 1. The French Defense is one of the first strategic openings every chess player should learn. After e5 now or later , both sides will have pawn chains. One risk of the French Defense is that the c8-bishop can be very hard to develop.

The Ruy Lopez is one of the oldest and most classic of all openings. It is named after a Spanish bishop who wrote one of the first books on chess.

The Ruy Lopez attacks the knight which defends the e5-pawn. The early chess books focused on how to exploit the white advantage over black. It was an attempt to show the power of the first-move privilege.

This is even true for books focusing on strategic systems for black. In many of the chess puzzles, it was common to see each problem presented as white who has the winning sequence. In fact, Theophilus Thompson , the first Black player of note, had authored such a book of chess puzzles. To a great extent, books are still published in this fashion. There are a great many systems where black seeks to be the aggressor. Chess is more of a conversation where both sides engage in a battle of ideas.

Someone has to initiate the conversation, but throughout the flow of the game, a unique story unfolds. In my view, it is not about who starts first, but what the essence of the story ends up being.
