You do not need to learn openings, just play and follow opening principles.
Lasker formulated 4 common sense opening principles:
- Only play your d- and e-pawns
- Play your knights first, then your bishops
- Do not play the same piece twice
- Do not pin opponent's king's knight with your queen's bishop before he has castled O-O
i dont know how to learn/play openings,can anyone give me tips
