The Ruy López Chess Opening:
This opening is also known as the “Spanish Game” and one of the chess openings. The 3.Bb5 movement of White puts pressure on the rider who guards the centre and grows quickly. It was opened after the Spanish priest Ruy Lopez de Segura of the sixteenth century.
Pros:
- It leads to very complex and diverse games
- Tendencies to pressure White for a long time
- White rapidly develops and castles fast
Cons:
- Some theoretical lines
- Black has many defenses to choose from Sometimes Black gets an opportunity to attack the light-quarter later. bishop
The Catalan Chess Opening:
In Catalan, White combines the moves of space d4 and c4 with the King’s bishop’s fianchetto. That places the white pressure on the queenside at the centre of gravity, hoping that the white king will remain safe for a long time.
Pros:
- Subtle position
- Long-term pressure leads to adverse effects:
Cons:
- The c4 pawn can be sensitive
- White could sacrifice a cowboy.
- Black can avoid the Catalan in general
The Réti Chess Opening:
Usually, this is a quite quiet way to start the game. The Knight grows to a good square, white keeps the central pawns flexible. A later move from d2-d4 may transpose to a 1.d4 opening, while a later move from c2-c4 could be transposed into French.
Pros:
- e5 Prepare Castle Cons: Flexible Checks e6
Cons:
- The f-pawn blocks
- Permit 1…c5, the d4 square control from the side
The English Chess Opening:
White chose to fight at the English Opening for the centre, as it did at the Sicilian Defence, using a – relatively – wing pawn. Shift c4 is not really helpful for developing a piece but plans to place the knight behind the c-pawn and thus give a strong central position.
Pros:
- Combating the d5
- The c-pawn participates in the fight to the centre
- Can lead to pressure from queenside
Cons:
- Less evolution
- Less direct opportunities for attacking
- Permits Black put a strong pawn on e5
The King’s Fianchetto Chess Opening:
The Hungarian Opening sometimes is known as the 1.g3 fianchetto by a king bishop (Bg2), which it hits in the middle. The delay of Nf3 results in some subtleties in relation to the Indian King’s attack.
Pros:
- Positional
- May lead to queenside pressure
- Flexible
Cons:
- The e5 square is not controlled (compared to 1.Nf3, 2.g3)
- Black may blot out the bishop by …d5 and …c6
- Black can create a big center
