e4 is three spaces in front of white's king .
1.e4 c5
1.e4 e5 2.Ne2
In chess notation, E4 refers to the opening move where the pawn in front of the king moves two squares forward. In the context of someone dying, E4 does not have a specific meaning. It is important to consider the context in which E4 is being used to determine its significance.
The center of a chess board are the d4, e4, d5 and e5 squares. These are the most important squares to have control over in most openings and during the game.
It's a matter of personal opinion. Popular choices include: e5 (open), e6 (french), c5 (sicilian), and c6 (caro-kann).
The kings gambit is an opening characterised by the moves e4, e5, f4. It is the end position after these three moves which makes the opening the kings gambit. If the opponent does not initially comply, for example by playing the french defence e6, then the kings gambit cannot be played. Nevertheless, you may still be able to transpose into a kings gambit in some lines, for instance e4 d6 nc3 e5 f4.
Yes. In response to e4, black may play e6, which is known as the french defense.
The Konstantinopolsky Opening is a rarely played chess opening that begins with the moves:1. e4 e52. Nf3 Nc63. g3
1. e4 e52. Bc4 Bc53. Qf3 Nc64. Qxf7#or1. e4 e52. Bc4 Bc53. Qh5 Nf64. Qxf7#1. e4 e52. Bc4 Bc53. Qf3 Nc64. Qxf7#or1. e4 e52. Bc4 Bc53. Qh5 Nf64. Qxf7#
After white moves his king's bishop to c4 on move 3, black takes white's pawn at e4 with his knight from f6.
Favourite first move for white is 1. E4. Favourite response to this with black is 1.f5 (the sicilian defense).
