Lessons on openings
Sort:
There are dozens of lessons on openings on Chess.com, however none of them teach the opening. They make you guess the next move in a opening you're trying to learn, curious.
Opening:
Follow the Opening principles:
1. Control the center squares – d4-e4-d5-e5
2. Develop your minor pieces toward the center – piece activity is the key
Ø Complete your development before moving a piece twice or starting an attack.
Ø Move pieces not pawns.
3. Castle
4. Connect your rooks
Ø By move 12, you should have connected your Rooks, or be about to do so.

You only need to be able to play common sense chess.
Would you consider Najdorf lines as common sense chess?
Yes.
