"Any opening you know sufficiently well is good no matter what its reputation" -Albright & Lawrence
Last week we learned about pieces, how they move, and their point values. This week we continued with opening principles & how to apply them. Pictured here are students at Pinecrest St. Rose Academy working on setting up their openings during practice after the days lesson.
