For years,Chess Dynasties have come and gone.The Fischer Dynasty,The Spassky Dynasty,and,of course,The Petrosian Dynasty.But,what did they use to climb to the top?
There are three main schools of Chess.
1.The Classical School.
This is probably the most common School today.This school promoted large pawn centres,and control of the Centre.Many Chess players play Classical,mainly because Grandmasters have played Classical.The most common Classical Openings are The King's Pawn Opening,And The Queen's Pawn Opening.
2.The Hypermodern School
This is a relaively new School,which is not exactly common,but not exactly rare.This involves allowing the opposition to build a large pawn centre,which the player can easily target due to the opponent's large mass of pawns.When playing hypermodern,the opposition must be wary of your status so as not to lose a pawn.Many players have mastered this School,some even on this site!Some hypermodern openings are The Pirc Defense,The Benko Opening(not to be confused with the Benko Gambit),The Larsen's Opening,The King's Indian,And The Queen's Indian.
3.Lastly,The Romantic School.This is far from kissing.It actually involves early sacrifices for early development and Control Of The Centre.Naturally,this leads to sharp play and strategies,similar to William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice,or Romeo And Juliet(Brilliant!!!!!!).Often played openings based on this are The King's Gambit,The Queen's Gambit,The Danish Gambit,The Benko Gambit(NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE BENKO OPENING).The most famous game with this is The Immortal Game,played in 21st June,1851,between Adolf Anderssen and Lionnel Kieseritzky.
Now,my question for you,which one is supreme.Which one Is The King Of King's?
YOU decide.
