How to open the game?

OpeningChessChess variant
In this post I will give tips to beginner players who get into trouble

Important opening principles

1 Take over the center (optional)
2 Develop Develop Develop You must develop your pieces quickly and to 0 - 0, not to leave just a king in the center!
3 Tempo Don't waste time in the opening on just moves like h3 that you don't need

Opening options in white

d4 or e4 or Nf3 are the most popular options I play for example d4 I studied almost all the possible theories and ideas behind d4 I think e4 is an opening for the most advanced because there are many options after me e4 for example, Sicilian e5 (not good unless you are a grandmaster)

What happens while you play in black?

When you play the black pieces you have to "react to the opponent" I highly recommend not playing e5 there are too many options for example if I am played c4 then I play e6 to move to a
queen gambit or a similar variant Write in the comments which opening you prefer and why
