lemme say something that is: The rule that says dont move your pieces twice in the opening is wrong, because what if ur opponet does this:
and ur lost
The rules are supposed to be guidelines to making better moves. These rules of thumb are rough outlines for a player to start with to get the basics down, and learning the nuances comes with time and practice. Also, some rules are more important than others in certain situations. The value of not randomly losing pieces, or of noting a knight is 3 points to a pawn's one, will have times where they trump the concept of moving more than once.
For instance, look at white's bishop and knight play in this game:
My conversion could be a lot better, but this is a prime example what can happen if someone makes multiple moves with one piece and forgets about developing.true
And as for opening principles. I made one move - knight move 6. ...Na6. It is always said that you shouldn't make a knight move on the edge of the board like that Na3/Na6 or Nh3/Nh6. But that was the only move to keep me in the game. And because he moved his knight for the second time to put me in that position in the first place, it is ok.
But for someone rated 800 for instance, they don't know when it is ok to bend the rules, and by abiding to the rules, they will be ok most of the time. Of course even a weaker player should understand that if your knight is attacked, it is probably a good idea not to let it be captured.
