Chess is like a real war. In the beginning, you try to take control of the
center, just like trying to get on higher ground in a war, so that you can have
an advantage. From there you seek out your opponents weak spots, while
protecting your own. Formulate a plan of attack, by trying to capture his men
while maintaining your own mobility. Never take your eye off his king or
advancing forces.
All of the chess Opening Books in the world stress this. A good opening is one
in which you take control of the center so you can launch an attack.
There is no shame in losing, only in not trying again!
