Chess Openings: Learn to Play the Saragossa Opening
There are 20 different chess moves that white can play to start the game. These moves include e4, d4, the English Opening, Bird’s Opening, and King’s Indian Attack. All of these chess openings are good for white, but also extremely common. Is there any chess moves white can play which is strong but rare? Avoiding endless opening theory but maintaining a high level of play and flexibility going into the middlegame? In today’s video, I am recommending the Saragossa Opening which begins with c3 from white. Many may laugh at this move, but it’s simply like a Caro-Kann or Slav Defense with an extra tempo. In fact, white is guaranteed a slight advantage coming out of the opening. Both the Caro-Kann and Slav Defense are known as great chess openings for black. We as white simply want a Caro-Kann or Slav Defense system but with an extra move, and it’s virtually impossible to prevent white from getting the desired set up. The Saragossa Opening may be seen as passive, and in some respects it is. If you want to checkmate your opponent’s king within 10-15 moves, the Saragossa Opening might not be for you. However, if you are a Caro-Kann and/or Slav Defense Player, and like slower games with che strategy, the Saragossa Opening is a great option. Chess strategy, chess moves, chess principles, chess tips, and chess ideas are all important in the Saragossa Opening. In this chess opening video, we review the chess opening principles, chess opening moves, chess opening ideas, and chess opening strategy surrounding the Saragossa, as well as the chess opening variations that do the best at the Grandmaster level!
