Is there some openign that's good for beginers or whatever? They told me not to worry just to practice the tactic trainer so I did and even my score is ok. So now what? I need hlep on openings.

As white, go with e4, there are numerous continuations on it and it gives you great learning chances, as the game can go both tactical and positional.

As black, e5 as a reply to e4, d5 as a reply to d4, and e5 as a reply to c4. d5 as a reply to nf3.

 

That's the tips I got as a beginner, other than that follow the opening principles (activate you'r material, get your king to safety etc).

Ruy Lopez as WHite

and Two knights defence as black

I agree with tricklev, as white go for e4 and as black, do as tricklev said. Also remember to watch out for mating traps, I don't know what different traps are called but when your opponent plays his/her queen out on the board in early stages look at which squares it attacks. If you fall for a trap you probarly will only do it once as you learn from your mistakes, so did I

All good stuff, beginners should generally always play e4 as white, and play e5 and d5 as black. Those are really the best openings to learn opening principles, and they're easier to grasp than hypermodern fiancetto stuff.

Thanks!

You shouldn't worry about learning openings develop your pieces off their starting squares and work on your tactics,tactics,tactics and for a change of pace work on your tactics.

I would suggest the Four Knights GAME. 1.e4,e5 2.Nf3,Nf6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Bc4,Bc5 5.0-0,0-0

Definitely the french. Playing e6 with black gets them playing your line.

I don't agree there. Theres craploads of lines and new players shouldn't be worrying about lines. First off theres 2.Qe2 Chigorin's rare line and after 2.d4 d5 theres 3.Nc3, 3.e5, 3.Nd2 and then they break off all over the place.

They told me to do that and I did. So I need to now what comes after.

Are you kidding? You have live chess rating around 1000 and tactics trainer rating of 2004!!? How is that possible? No way!

If you are already that good with tactics then you really need to build opening repertoire and study endgames...

  Take the rook without losing pieces. See video left. Only owrks conditionally.

Dude yeah if your tactics are like that you're derinetly ready for some openings. Heres some ideas. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_opening

Stop studying and play chess games.  Seriously, if you can get a 2000 rating in tactics trainer and still fall for scholars mate, it's a sign that you simply haven't played enough chess games

IMO, openings should be studied briefly, and you should learn more as you go along.  It's ok to study openings if for example you are getting crushed in the opening and don't know where you are going wrong, or you start approaching national master level, but I don't suggest studying them outside of that.  See a lot about openings is rote memorization, which doesn't help you learn how to play the rest of your chess game better.  I've seen a beginner that studied lines of the marshall gambit, and lost to scholars mate on the same day.

Only by playing enough chess games can you wire your mind to go "hey, that move threatens Qxf7# and Qxe5!  I better prevent those threats with Qe7!".  Many people advise to study tactics until your eyes fall off, but if you overuse it, you can end up finding 7 move combinations that win a pawn and missing simple forks.

guicio piano is easy

I have to say it since no one else (that I read) has said it. You can start with one but you should know theory (at least a little) for the major starts. What happens if you are all set to play your Ruy Lopez, you have studied for days you can recite every variation and the last date it was played, but the game starts 1e4 d5....now 2Nf3 is not such a good idea because 2...dxe4 now you have to move your knight AND your are down a pawn for the moment.

I recommend knowing at least the opening moves for the main lines to

1. e4 e5

1. e4 d5

1. e4 c5

1. d4 d5

1. d4 Nf6 and

1. d4 Nc6

If you are feeling froggy you can throw in 1. e4 e6 2. Nf3 d5 The french defense

You have to make clear what kind of player you are, positional (strategic) or tactical and which positios are you favour.

Then start build up your opening repertoire. First study one opening for white and two for black (one against 1.e4 and one 1.d4/c4/Nf3 (those are quite similar).

Usually 1.e4 leads tactical and open positions and 1.d4/c4/Nf3 leads closed positions and more strategic. It doesn´t matter which openings you choice, it depends on what kind player you are!

Anyway, study mainline first, then one frequently played variation, and then variation for you favor. Do not study opening move by move, try to understand idea behind of it.

Tactic training is very good, it improves your "chess eye" and makes easily to understand middle- and endgame positions.

Keep up good work, trust your own opinions.

I think that 1.d4/Nf3 are better for beginners. If you think 1.e4 there are lot of different openings was palyed in tournaments; Caro-Kann, Sisilian (many variations), Kings Gambit, Ruy Lopez, Petrof... But by 1.d4 usually there was played Queens Gambit, King's Indian and Nimzo.

 You've only done around 150 tactics, so I am not sure how telling your rating is.

Though I am no expert in chess, when I browse through your games, you seem to hang pieces, miss a lot of tactics (both your own and your opponents) and even sometimes fail to notice your opponents hung pieces. Before you can spot tactics in real games, you haven't studied enough tactics.
