COA [Beta v1.0] Analysis
- Analysis of Named Chess Openings
Openings were only given names if played by prominent Chess players, or there was something other significant factor (perhaps a place where a notable game took place). So, those are the ones I've focussed on.
Openings analyzed by the COA [Beta v1.0] include Classic King Pawn Opening lines (1. e4 e5), Classic Queen Pawn Openings (1. d4 d5), among others.
- Analysis of Gambit Chess Openings
The aim of a Gambit is to offer up material, usually a Pawn, as sacrificial "bait". The result of an Accepted Gambit is the opponent (the one who "takes the bait") gets a free capture ... The Gambit "setter" - the one who offered the sacrificial Pawn or Piece - gets to snatch a lead in development.
- Analysis of Irregular Chess Openings
Any first move, made by White, that provides less potential advantages than the more common King Pawn, Queen Pawn, and Flank Openings, respectively.
The following are all Irregular Openings:
1. a3, 1. a4, 1. b4, 1. c3, 1. d3, 1. e3, 1. f3, 1. g4, 1. h3, 1. h4, 1. Na3, 1. Nc3, 1. Nh3
