-Moves the king up to a safe square, guarded by a pawn on the right and two pawns above the king.
-Lowers the risk of being checkmated by bishop tricks as it gives the king many squares to move to.
-Does defensive playing and all the pieces are together and none of them is hanging.
Disadvantages:-
-If your opponent plays the Fianchetto opening or the Degenerate opening and you play this opening, there is great chance of losing your bishop to the opponent as shown in the above article.
-You cannot attack or open any piece early. You have to confine yourself in your army.
Many people play this opening, but mostly higher rated people play only the degenerate opening or the fianchetto opening. They play this opening only when it is forced(Right-adjacent player plays the degenerate opening).
2.The Fianchetto Opening:
Advantages:-
-It bring the bishop in control of the whole diagonal.
-It can sometimes help you take your top-adjacent player's bishop as shown in the article by @BoxJellyfishChess.
-It also has some spaces for the king to depend on in case of attack by opponents.
Disadvantages:-
-The opening exposes the king as no one is guarding on the right of the king and attacks can trap your king.
-Sometimes this opening weakens the kingside and forces you to lose points or trade with loss on your side.
-It also sometimes doesn't have space for the king to move when your opposite player doesn't trade bishops with you.
Me, Suneth, and many more play this opening. Most hyper stars prefer to play this opening.
3. The Degenerate Opening:
Advantages:-
-Immediately launches and attack on the top-adjacent player and forces it to either make the degenerate opening(only 1st moves as degenerate, if his/her top-adjacent also plays the degenerate opening) or mostly preferred the standard opening.
-Sometimes new players avoid checks and this can help you to capture the opponent's king, make points and give all the freedom to promote easily.
-This can also as the fianchetto opening, help you to trade your top-adjacent player's bishop for your knight.
Disadvantages:-
-Sometimes if your right-adjacent player is opening with his knight, that may cause you losing your bishop for knight(-5 + 3 = -2).
-I have tried to play this opening sometimes but failed almost all times as this opening doesn't give my king or pawns on the right side steps to move on to before my bishop gets traded.
-In hyper, this opening can make you lose your bishop sometimes since we have to play fast if it is 15 sec or 6 sec, we don't think about the bishop and act hastily.
-Before the bishop gets traded, it is very difficult to trade or gain something. This makes you with bulk material that in the endgame, you have to, forcibly trade for less points(Ex- Knight for 2 pawns[-3 + 2 = -1] or even 1 pawn sometimes!)
Terk/Elena, GellartGrindelwald, etc. play this opening and have been quite successful(I wonder how?)
Referring to the three main openings of Chaturaji, whose article IM @BoxJellyfishChess wrote(Link- https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/chaturaji-history-on-chess-com-openings-and-trading), I made my own article sharing the advantages and disadvantages of the three openings.
1. The Standard Opening:
Advantages:-
-Moves the king up to a safe square, guarded by a pawn on the right and two pawns above the king.
-Lowers the risk of being checkmated by bishop tricks as it gives the king many squares to move to.
-Does defensive playing and all the pieces are together and none of them is hanging.
Disadvantages:-
-If your opponent plays the Fianchetto opening or the Degenerate opening and you play this opening, there is great chance of losing your bishop to the opponent as shown in the above article.
-Sometimes, it may also happen that two bishops may trick you into getting checkmated, like the one mentioned in this article(https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/chaturaji-tactics-for-starters)
-You cannot attack or open any piece early. You have to confine yourself in your army.
