The opening principles are a simple series of ideas or concepts that have been proven to help players lay a solid foundation for the rest of their game. There is a set of opening principles to guide them as they study the opening. Employing these opening principles will ensure that the beginner builds a much better foundation for the rest of their games. In this series, you will learn the opening principles and understand the importance why all good chess openings employ these principles.

In this video, IM Alex Astaneh will discuss the second core opening principle, which is the importance of development. When it comes to piece development, the following points need to be considered:

1. Pawn grabbing is very dangerous when you are behind in development .
2. Never ignore development. It is a core opening principle!
3. If you are behind in development you should make that a top priority, so bring out your pieces to the best squares you can identify and also be very careful not to push pawns and not to grab pawns. Sometimes it is ok to do so, but very often if you do too much of that it is going to backfire a huge percentage of the time and that’s a common beginner mistake.
