Ep. 153: There is NO Advantage to Having the White Pieces at the Amateur Level
Manage episode 483478958 series 3378739
This week is all about chess opening philosophy. We discuss a number of ideas about opening prep and argue that having the White pieces does not provide any meaningful advantage at the club level since most amateur games are littered with mistakes, thus negating any possible benefit of moving first. The basis of this episode is a response to the excellent article Chess Openings In The Engine Era by NM Jeremy Kane.
