1- Expand your nuts as fast as possible
What is important at the beginning of the chess game is to spread the pieces to the best possible place and capture the king's castle. The opening is complete when the expansion of the riders and the communication between the faces is established. If you finish opening your beads early, you will have the initiative. The principles that should be used to select moves at the beginning of the game are: control of the center, immediate expansion of knights, coordination between knights and pawns, and taking the king's castle.

2- Move the horse before the elephant
If the pawns have not blocked the path, the elephant can control several houses in its initial state, while the horse can only control the neighboring houses and has a longer path to reach the center of the field and is less dynamic.
3- Avoid moving the pieces again at the beginning of the game and opening
You have to place your pieces in the best possible square with one move. Moving the piece again will cause the loss of opportunity and initiative.
4- During the opening, place the minister behind the line of insider pawns
While the minister's piece is powerful, it is also very vulnerable, because it must respond to any threat and attack from the opponent's light riders by fleeing. For this reason, it is recommended to place the minister behind the pawns in the second frame so that while maintaining its safety, communication between the sides is also possible.
5-Avoid unnecessary killing of the opponent's king
There is no need to kill the opponent's king that can be easily defended. Only in cases where this movement is related to selective opening, there is no obstacle.
6-Try to prevent the opponent from taking the castle
When the opponent is waiting for the rook to capture the king, try to keep his king in the center for a longer period of time. One of the most common ways is to control the houses that the king must pass through to capture the castle. (usually f1 or f8 for the castle of the king's wing) Most of the time, the sacrifice of a pawn is very important to keep the king in the center.
7- Avoid moving pawns unnecessarily
Only at the beginning of the game, the movement of the pawns is done only to open the minister's bishop and elephant and to control the center, and it is unnecessary except for these cases.
8- Avoid replacing an expanded bead with one that is not yet expanded
Non-professional players also know that it is not appropriate to replace a piece with a good position with a piece with a bad position. In fact, replacing an expanded bead with a non-expanded bead causes a loss of time; Finally, you should replace your expansion nut with one that has moved at least once.

9- Quickly take the king to the castle
What should be considered in the beginning or middle of the game is the king's security. The king in the center will be very vulnerable to the opponent's attacks, especially in open situations. Taking a castle means that the king is safely behind his pawn line and one of the rooks is also extended and can quickly take control of a semi-open or fully open column.
10- The castle in the king's wing is more secure than the castle in the minister's wing
Taking a castle on the king's flank moves him further away from the center and behind his own pawns. In addition, this castle is also available earlier than taking the castle in the Wazir faction. Also, the castle opposite to the opponent's castle makes the opponent's attacks more powerful.
11- If you are behind your opponent in expanding the pieces, avoid opening the situation
The optimal open position is for a player who has expanded his pieces better and more. Therefore, the player who has the advantage in the opening can open the game.
12- Control as much space as possible
A player who benefits from space superiority and has more space control has more dynamics for his pieces and has more mobility to transfer them to both sides. On the other hand, a player who has less space at his disposal will be limited in the direction of maneuvering his pieces, and if necessary, he will face problems in defending his king.
13- Move the pawns forward to gain more space
Although the advance of the pawns leads to the restriction of the opponent and the acquisition of space, but this principle must also be carefully considered that it is more difficult to defend the advanced pawn. In addition, with the advance of each pawn, there are weak houses nearby that may be occupied by the opponent's knights.
14- It is more difficult to support and protect a pedestrian who has moved forward
You must pay attention to the fact that a weak pawn is one that is not supported by another pawn and it must be supported against the opponent's attack with the rider, and this causes the efficiency of this rider to decrease because against the opponent's attack It should take on a defensive nature.
15- Place the riders as close to the center as possible
Riders control more homes in the center than anywhere else. For example, the horse in the center controls 8 different houses, while in each of the corners it will control only 2 houses. The control of the center is also very important because it enables the quick transfer of riders to the flanks and the rider who has more transfer power than the opponent rider has a better chance to provide a successful attack.
