A Strong Opening is a Flexible Opening
The question often is how do we have strong defense and offense strategies in chess? There are many approaches to this query but the simplest probably is to get as many pieces on the board's center as possible. Getting more pieces out there makes for a flexible and strong chess opening.
When we have more pieces out early in the game we gain flexibility. Flexibility is important for a strong defense-offense system in chess. The more pieces available for quick maneuvers the stronger our play is.
We have to divide our pieces into two groups. The king's officials and pawns should stay close with the king. This is the first group. The second group is composed of the queen and its officials and pawns. This group should be out there making a change.
If we keep our pieces mostly in the initial formation we're prone to easy capturing and trapping. Most novice players want to preserve most of their officials at the back row formation as display collections. It's fun to see them there standing at attention and in their proper order. But when kept for long there they miss most of the action and remain useless. It's hard to summon them for support or attack especially when blocked by ally pawns still in formation.
Hence, the best option is to keep half of the team out for various active operations, especially looking for a way to relentlessly check the queen or the king, or both.
A strong chess opening also takes into consideration an intact defense network linking each piece in an impenetrable defense system. Some of them stay behind with the king and some of them attack enemy fortifications while in support tandems or teams. This makes the flexible opening hard to crash.
However, we should be careful not to be opening up our formation too loosely. We might end up losing our major pieces to mere enemy pawns. Enemy pawns, especially when structured mightily, can easily trap major pieces that roam around early in the game. Even queens may fall victim to a mob of pawns when the opponent knows what the game is all about. Hence, the key here is moderate spreading of pieces in a strong defense network.
Thus, if we want a flexible and strong chess opening, we have to often opt for formidably linked and widely spread pieces. But bear in mind to always keep track of them and make sure they're always well supported.
