What is Opening Theory in chess?

Opening Theory studies the best moves and strategies for the first few moves of a chess game to develop pieces quickly and control the center.

Why is learning openings important?

Knowing openings helps you start the game strongly, avoid mistakes, and set up a good position for the middle game.

The opening usually lasts about the first 10 to 15 moves before transitioning into the middle game.

Beginners should focus on understanding basic opening principles rather than memorizing lots of moves.
