How the game starts. Each opening is an interactive tour through the first moves and the ideas behind them.
B12
Pure aggression — sacrifice a knight on f7 to drag Black's king into the open.
C50–C54
Classical, principled, alive again at the top level.
C60–C99
Pressure on Black's defending knight — the deepest, most theoretical king's pawn opening in chess.
B10–B19
The French's quieter, sturdier cousin — develop the bishop before locking the center.
B20–B99
Black's most ambitious answer to 1.e4 — asymmetric, sharp, uncompromising.
