I never figured out what all of those numbers mean. Is it how many points you get for a move or something? For a while, I though that it was part of a coordinate system, but that didn't seem to work out.PhanthomJay said:
You're thinking like a mathematician, but yes, it is a coordinate system , rows 1 thru 8 and columns a thru h I think I recall. The pawn in front of the king on e2 moves 2 spaces forward to e4. I think it's written 1.KP: e4(!) where the exclamation point means "great move, Phanthom" ! Over 50 percent of the time you'll win this way, unless you're playing someone a lot better than you. Pawn can just move one space forward after that , and captures diagonally one space, except for the famous 'pawn captures pawn en passant' rule, which you should look up (if you care to that is).Danger said:

Was he considered redundant for saying "1" and "Ace" in the same string, or was it taken to be an indication of the high/low ambiguity unique to that card value?
Best joke I heard this week. But 1 and ace are same. Its ace 2 3 ...edI've ard said:
That depends on how well you can use them, in my limited experience the blackmar diemar gambit can go south VERY easily and frankly I don't see the appeal of sacrifice of two pawns that might give me a greater control of the center, Ruy lopez on the other hand is considerably safer.AdityaDev said:
There is no universally agreed upon "best" chess opening. Different players have different preferences and styles, so the best opening for one person may not be the best for another.
My favourite chess opening is the Italian Game, also known as the Giuoco Piano. It involves developing the bishop to c4 and controlling the center with pawns. I like it because it allows for a lot of flexibility and potential for attacking.
Some of the most popular chess openings include the Sicilian Defense, the Ruy-Lopez, and the Queen's Gambit. These openings have been studied and played by many top level players and have stood the test of time.
The best way to choose a chess opening is to experiment and see what works best for your style of play. Try out different openings and see which ones you feel most comfortable with and have the most success with. It's also important to study and understand the ideas and principles behind each opening.
While it is possible to use the same chess opening every game, it is not recommended. It's important to be versatile and adapt to your opponent's moves. Using the same opening every game can make you predictable and easier for your opponent to counter. It's important to have a variety of openings in your repertoire.
