what is the things to remember in opening?

Contol the center.  Develop your pieces to useful squares.  Castle.  Try not to blunder.

lol More useful advice: Try not to lose.

I don't know how useful that is.  But try not to blunder actually IS useful.

A major trouble beginners have with the opening is that they begin to notice that good moves tend to remain good moves under many circumstances.  Push a middle pawn or two...Knights go on c3/6 and f3/6.  Bishops protect knights...or pin knights...or fianchetto...or post in a place that menaces the king.

But it's easy to run into trouble like this if you don't also follow the maxim "try not to blunder."

It's easy to think that the first few moves are a time when there aren't enough pieces out and around that you can fall prey to a tactic.  But there are lots of very elementary positions where a bishop can fall to a Queen fork.  Or a captured knight can lead to the loss of a pawn.  These things are easy to overlook, because most people don't get into the habit of trying to look a couple moves ahead until the middle game.  If you're not playing 100% on theory, you need to start looking ahead as soon as you don't recognize the move.

It seems like too simple a piece of advice.  It seems like a waste of keystrokes and effort.  But if more people followed it, ratings would rise a lot faster.

OK fair enough.

And try to prevent your opponent from doing the same.

tnx for the comments. i try it..
