How to gain space?

Since chess is played on a limited area of 64 squares, the number of squares gained by each side, on which they can freely, positioned their forces. At the star of the game, black and white control the same space. But as a rule, any move in the opening pursues the idea of gaining the control over a large number of squares, especially in the opponent’s territory. Pawns, pressing the opponent pieces, and giving their own pieces freedom to maneuvers, play the main role over the seizure of the space. But the movement of pieces must be accompanied by the support of pieces. Otherwise, the army of pawn will soon perish. An experienced chess player tries to ensure superiority in the central sector of the board by the c- and f-files, since the best position of pieces is situated here.
