Тhe most famous chess openings

  • One of the most famous openings is the queen's gambit, the king's gambit, the Sicilian defense, the king of cards, etc... For us, the most effective and best opening is the queen's gambit.

�Queen's gambit

  • For us, this is a good opening because there are a lot of traps at the very beginning and the king is in a safe position.
  • Of the more than 23,000 games in our masters' database, Black wins 25%, draws 38%, and loses 38%.
