Chess Openings For Dummies Cheat Sheet

Chess openings can be broken down into categories based on their pawn structures and how much mobility the pieces have. Players often prefer a certain category of chess opening because of the type of game it can lead to. Open games lead to a lot of piece movement, while closed games involve a lot of strategic maneuvering. Other categories of openings are semi-open, semi-closed, and flank openings.
