“Chess is mental torture.” - Garry KasparovWow! We have made it to the penultimate lesson of the 14-day Learn Chess Series, and at this point, I am more than excited for how I was able to see this series down to this point. Throughout the series, we have covered many lessons, such as the chessboard, pieces, the language of chess, basic chess tactics, special moves, and now we are about to treat opening principles, a crucial lesson for every chess beginner out there. At this point, it feels like I am out of any story to give for my lesson, because I must have given it all out. Hmmm. I have to think of one.
