A Survey of the Openings (163 words) |
 | In the opening phase of the game it is important to develop your pieces quickly to active squares on the chess board. |
| This means that it is seldom a good idea to move the same piece twice before all other pieces have been developed and unnecessary pawn moves should be avoided. |
| In the meantime, if you wish to study openings in greater depth Chess Openings For Juniors by J. Walker is a very good introduction to opening play and for a more advanced look at the openings Gabor Kallai's Basic Chess Openings and More Basic Chess Openings are to be recommended. |

Chess opening - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (5142 words) |
| It is therefore normal for both players to either castle in the opening (simultaneously developing one of the rooks) or to otherwise bring the king to the side of the board via artificial castling. |
| Opening theory began being studied more scientifically from the 1840s on, and many opening variations were discovered and named in this period and later. |
| The name given to an opening is not always that of the first player to adopt it; often an opening is named for the player who was the first to popularize it or to publish analysis of it. |
