Here are 9 THINGS kids should think about in the OPENING of a chess game.
1 - Develop their minor pieces (Knights and Bishops) towards the middle of the board
2 - Develop
3 - Develop (YES this is so important, we list it three times!)
4 - Don't move the same piece twice in the opening (or first 10 moves or so)
5 - Don't bring the Queen out too early!
6 - CASTLE before move 10! Safeguards the King, and activates the Rook!
7 - Control the Center of the board! Pieces should develop towards the center, not the edges.
8 - Connect the Rooks! The rooks should be connected with no pieces between them on the back row.
9 - Develop with a PLAN - this is the beginning of strategy. Your pieces should be developed with the other player in mind. Where to attack - King or Queen side? Where are you strongest? Where do you have the most space?
