Nihal's Danvers Opening then Back To Basics at Wolverhampton Chess Club

Well, it was inevitable, one day, that Nihal would be told to slow down and think before he moves.

Nihal has a tendency to take his opponents into check at quite an early stage in the game. Whilst this form of attack can perplex the youngsters and those who are a bit rusty, it is in general deemed as overambitious.

Having played Ron and learnt a few hints, it was time to learn from the Chairman, Frank.

Frank's advice was simple. Develop your pieces first. Formulate your check at a later stage. This was expecially pertinent on his observation of his Danvers Opening

Other pieces of advice :

Control the Center(This one we knew already, but fair to state anyway)
Pair the castles(We acknowlkedged this after several defeats)
A Knight on the Rim, outlook is Grim(Less manouverement on the Rim)
Follow Queen with Rook(Interesting one this, will need to try)
Protect the Heavies(Ofcourse the backup plan as always)

Many more lessons can be learnt by playing the regulars at this club, and we appreciate all advice. Nihal, your learning journey, has just been raised a level!
Good Luck.
