Chess tips
20 years ago I chose to play the Sicilian defence and an experience player told me continue on with it. I am really glad that I stuck with it because it’s a defence I can play for life and never be bored with.
Most coaches will tell you not to learn the Sicilian because it is heavy in theory and hence stick with 1.e4, e5.
As white, I was told to open up with e4, develop the minor pieces, castle, connect the rooks and then fight for the center.
