Hello everyone, my name is Dennis and I have some questions about "named openings", as I call them at the moment.
I'm learning to become a better chess-player by using the Study Plans, and I am in the beginner section about the openings. In the articles provided in the Study Plans are several named openings I've never seen or even heard of before... which makes me feel kinda like a noob. And maybe it's just silly, but I don't like that feeling, especially when reading the before-mentioned articles.
So my question is this: Can someone tell me about the most commonly known "named chess openings"? Just a few basic ones that are not too hard to grasp. If anyone could help me with this, I would really appreciate it!
