Intro

Have you heard about the CENTER GAME? It’s a very EPIC opening that literally DESTROYS chess… Without further ado, let’s jump into this brilliant opening!

Chapter 1: How does it start

This opening starts like this:

Looks a bit strange, isn’t it? Let me explain it:

  • First, it challenges the center.
  • Second, it frees up the bishop pair, to let them come out.
  • Third, will lead to open and tactical games.
  • Fourth, will make opponents confused.

Also, there are some bad points:

  • After black plays exd4, if you take the pawn, your queen will come out very early.
  • Actually, this is an unsound opening.

Chapter 2: Key Variations

Line 1: Center Game Accepted

Main Line

The Danish Gambit

Variations after 3. Nf3

If you play 3. Nf3, you need to know some things about these variations:

  • If black plays Nc3, it will become the Scotch Game.
  • If black plays d6, it will become the Philidor Defense.
  • If black plays Nf6, it will become the Petrov Defense.

Note: 3… c5 is playable but black will fall behind in development.

Line 2: Others

Moves like Nc6 or Nf6 will not work well, but there are still some moves that can defend the attack of those two white pawns, like 2… Qe7.

Chapter 3: Review

This is not a very famous opening and sometimes it will be effective on some opponents, making you win a game of chess very easy. But chess is not so easy, what if your opponent knows how to play and didn’t fell for your trap? Then we need to study more about this opening. So this blog didn’t tell you all about the Center Game, but let you know it and use it on some times, like facing 1000 ~ 1400 rated opponents. If you are interested about this opening, I think you may study more about this to win a game of chess.

And at last, you need to remember, this is an unsound opening. Use it on correct times, to get your win of the game!
