I have a lot of non-chess playing friends who I wish were interested in learning chess. Do I daydream about showing them all the cool chess stuff? Yes, yes I do. SO here's the question:
What's the first thing you'd show someone who knows the basic rules but that's it?
Basic principles - knights out first etc
An iconic game with lots of drama
Tactics! Combos! Pins! Traps!
Some cool puzzles showing key ideas
A mainline opening prob from 1.e4
Gambits!
Just make 'em watch the Queen's Gambit lbr
Something else entirely
