Update on new openings

Posted by badenstein on June 14, 2009

Well, so far, the new openings have been going well.  I am 2 wins and 1 loss since starting back up playing with my new openings.  That is huge for me.  I have a good feeling regarding the games.  The games are going deeper and the games are closer.  That is a good goal for me.  I have so focused on the openings and I have overlooked the middle game play and the end game play.  Now I am trying to study the middle and end game rather than overly focus on the openings.   I am working on posting one of my wins and what I have learned.

Keep studying and don’t forget.  Chess is an organic game.  Don’t overly focus on the opening.  You really can’t win a game in the first 10 moves anyway.  The best you can do is go up a pawn and then use that advantage.
