Please notice that, in the final position, ALL the minor black pieces are developed (the knights were even exchanged). Why do I say
that? Because some beginners tempted to win as quickly as possible, use to attack the opponent with the queen and with
another piece, in order not to waste the time with the others. Well, this is the biggest mistake the beginners do. If you
want to win quickly, develop ALL of your pieces. Of course, it is very important where you move those pieces and the order
of the moves. To facilitate your work, in our course, we will also explain the principles of the opening phase.
FINAL THOUGHTS
At the end, let's revise the schemes we learned in this game. The following diagrams are taken from
different games, to have more examples:
- The capture of the central pawn that is defended by a minor piece. Next, the sacrificed piece is regained, using the
double attack of the pawn. (the tactical element called "the fork")
- The pawn f7 is the weakest pawn in the opening because it is defended only by the black king (as the pawn f2 is for the
white king). Before the bishop from f8 is developed, in order to obstruct the castle, this scheme can be applied. The pawn
f7 cannot be defended by the attack of both the bishop and the knight.
In our game, we met these two schemes, very often met in the opening stage.
We strongly believe that you will have the chance to apply them, and of course, to stay away from them.
