Endgame
More Info:
The ancient King Pawn opening, "best by test" according to Bobby Fischer and perhaps the oldest first move in the modern version of chess. This is the most aggressive and most attacking first move because it immediately stakes a claim to the center and frees up the queen and king bishop.
Pros:
- Control of key central squares
- Rapid development
- Quick kingside castling
Cons:
- Requires more precise opening knowledge
- Less long term pressure if Black defends
Famous Practitioners: Bobby Fischer, Paul Morphy.
The Sicilian is one of the major answer to 1.e4 (King's Pawn opening). Black takes control of the d4 square with a pawn from the side - thus he imbalances the position and avoids White a central target.
Pros:
- Unbalances the game
- Gives Black good chances of attack
- Great opening when you need to play for a win
Cons:
- White has many ways to meet the Sicilian
- In the main variations White gets great attacking chances
- There is a lot of theory
