Just one question.

Is sicilian defense good for beginners?

is it easy to use?

or else, what opening is the best for beginner? (easy to master)

sicilian defense not good for lower rated players.

stick to learning double KP openings.

what's KP opening?

is it Nc3 Nf3

something like that?

Sicilian and beginners dont belong in the same sentence.

i often play spanish game, but i don't get any thing from it, i don't reli get how to play spanish game even though i always play it

The sicilian(s) are definitely NOT suited to beginners.

that's what i do.

but i find it doing that makes the game goes real slow....

actually can't i play black as sicilian and white as spanish game?

(or not sicilian something like that)

Personally, I like to play the English as white (1. c4) and the Sicilian as black. They're similar systems, just a change is tempo (time/initiative). I would agree it's probably better to use double king pawn openings first as a learning tool with these basic concepts:

1- fight for control of the center of the board

2- open lines for bishops

3- develop knights before bishops and avoid bringing out the queen early

4- castle to put the king in a safe position

But, that said, the game is played for fun... so if the Sicilian interests you give it a try. You'll learn more by playing games than by studying openings, just don't be afraid to fail and look at each game as a chance to learn.

@hungman : it's not the easiest to play, nor the most educational (1...e5 is better for this purpose), but it's not a bad choice either, so you can try it and see for yourself if you like it

Nope, stick to 1.e4 e5

i am always playing e4e5

or d4d5

or even e4 Nf6/Nc6

If you're bored of e4e5 then try the french. The positions are totally different, and there's not SO much theory to learn and the plans are quite straightforward.

I think the french is generally an excellent second step after the open games.

cool,

i will try it someday

I agree. Start with KP openings. However, if you play live chess on any site - good luck in finding someone who will play e5 to your e4. It's my opinion that it doesn't hurt one bit to know just a few short lines if Black plays 1...c5. It's THE most popular response by Black. Our own game explorer tells us this.

Now, I'm not suggesting that any beginner, including myself, give up on learning, playing and yes - understanding the ideas behind KP openings.

Memorize every line in the Ruy Lopez for starters. That shouldn't take too long.

Just kidding.

I think he's talking about his opening for black vs. 1.e4.

As white I would recommend him playing 19th century style openings for awhile...basically until he's experienced enough to not have to ask what openings to play on this forum.

sicilian for beginners

I never thought I would see those words together as to form and idea....

I'm beginner and no need to say that I'm bad at sicilian.

The improved players (learned opening theory) know the much of the traps, tricks and what to do in the known position. However as a beginner, I need to always think and calculate what to do. I only learn by trail and error. And sicilian is not the best way.

With black I mostly try d5 for e4, which is less theoritcal and I use e3 as a white.

the problem is that always when i play E4, the opponent play c6 and i play c5

is this a correct way to defend it?
