1. d2-d4 Full Game Score ... Next Move |
Gata returns to the move that brought him success in Game Ten. Any new player watching these championship games will soon realize that these players take their openings very seriously! 1. d4 is one of the best opening moves (along with 1. e4), because it immediately stakes a claim on the center. |
