The Fundamentals Of Opening Play: The Secret of Wayward MayTRICKS

Today I will be introducing a controversial yet powerful way in defeat your opponent--and quick. Matrix Principles are  new and innovative way to play chess. Matrix principles rely heavily on early attacks, quick mate threats, and pure tactical schemes. Matrix Chess is the tyle of Chess compared to that of Mike Tyson: Attack early, quickly, and swiftly for the knockout. Here is a game for example:

"Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. And the name of the servant was Malchus."

I don't recommend playing openings with lots of traps if your reason for playing them is that your opponents might fall for a trap.  If you like the positions of the middlegames which result from best play on both sides during the opening then play the opening.

lol, black suffers from a mental disadvantage.

We can all see that by the way he dropped his bishop.

The mental disadvantage refers to the fact that black is compelled to move a certain way, whether he likes it or not. So even if he is in a good position, the mental disadvantage becomes manifest by the fact that he is playing to whites tune. But since you know everything, I probably just repeated what you already knew.

I wouldn't call them "traps". I would call them "attacks".

And what do you think black could or should move now? Thanks!

Any more examples of this?

I do really well in openings where I win a whole piece!

Unfortunately winning a piece is never forced

What this person said

A P-thread without the P-word, lol.

Rather than chosing Parham Attack (2.Qh5), you can go for other sharp kings pawn openings like italian game, frued liver attack, etc.

If u like this style of play I recommend the King's Gambit. The idea is to develop quickly and seize the initiative through aggressive play. It works well against lower ranked players. But watch out if you're playing someone who knows what he is doing.

Yes there are principles.

Principle 1) Early attack with the Queen in order to seak early mates. By playing for the early mate you force your opponent to have to stop the early mate. Even though it is quite easy to stop the early mate, black can only play a certain amount of reasonable moves.

2) These certain "reasonable" moves which black can play symplify the game a great deal. White knows the reasonable moves which black can play. So White is "giving" a bag of three or four moves which black has to choose from. White already knows the best response to each move.  (Like in any other opening)

3) "Coincidence Squares" are basically the squares which from the basic set up will allow for early attacks because from the onset of the game these squares can be attacked early.  Does not mean they are more or less vulnerable, but simply that they can be attacked early by multiple pieces. Nothing special here.

4) The Principle of Mobility in regard to Bishops:

Now this is where the controversy arises. Bishops have nearly the same value as rooks in Matrix chess. The reason is that Bishops are more active in the beginning, and they can support the queen in an early mate threat. The rooks have no power in the beginning. They are sleeping Giants. Therefore, at least until they emerge, they don't pose any threat.

The Second game shows an example of Black Capturing a rook that was not moving, and White utilizing his pieces which are mobile.

Who knew that the path to chess mastery was through algebra class:

Please explain your equations :P

I lost my work

the parrot ate it, right ?

Sweet, I love comedians. Why does everyone always have to be the "funny--posts--memes--to--impress-- guy".
