What is the fastest way to win in chess?

Answer 1

The best first move in Chess is the one that you, after practice and playing, find gives you the greater advantage in playing the game. There are so many possible first moves that the best one becomes simply the one that you are most comfortable with and which suits your personal style of play best. The real best moves are either 'e4' or 'd4' where the center pawn moves two spaces forward and that prevents 'd5' or 'f5', or respectively 'c5' or 'e5'. These are the two best choices, and one would be hard pressed to say which is actually better, although the character of the resulting position would be quite different.

For example, assuming that black follows suit (usually the safest course), playing 'e5' or 'd5', white may in the latter case (very often he does) advance the c-pawn to 'c4' in an attempt at a gambit (usually declined with 'e6' or 'c6'),

but in a game opening with 'e4' it is almost always best to leave the f-pawn

unmoved and instead seize the initiative with N-f3. In d4 openings the b-Kt

is usually best placed at 'd2" to avoid the strain of a Cambridge Springs maneuver (double pin on Kt if black plays both Q-a5 and B-b4), at least until castling takes place.
