    1. Control the
    Center
    Put your pieces in the
    ideal position to control
    the most important part
    of the board - the center.
    Try to attack those
    squares, e4, d4, e5 and d5
    early in the game.
    If you can control those
    squares your opponent
    won't be able to find good
    squares for his or her
    pieces.

    2. Develop
    Your Pieces
    Take control of the game by
    developing your pieces
    rapidly to squares where they
    control the center.
    You want to develop your
    knights and bishops and
    castle quickly for King
    safety. Once you've done
    that, it's time to move the
    queen and connect the
    rooks.
    This is a great goal for the
    opening.

    3. Protect Your
    King
    “Castle early, and castle often.”
    King safety is the most
    important positional factor in
    chess.
    Usually the best way to secure
    your king is to castle.
    That way you can use your
    center pawns to fight for the
    center, but keep your side
    pawns back to protect the
    king in a castled position.
    Another great aspect of
    castling is that it helps your
    rook fight for the center.
