Who Cares what black does, this opening is quite hard to get. But when you get it. You have a good chance of winning

I agree...! Great information for beginners! If you can get your pieces to this "Full Control" position of the center, your game has very good chances for victory!Smile

If you could get that position, you have good winning chances. But black might easily avoid it(starting d5 stops the e4 pawn already). Alekhine's gun might be a bit easier.

dumb given position, because it's impossible, and all depend on situation. There are a plenty of openings to learn instead absorption of this "situation"

  I DON'T PROFESS TO  BE  GREAT  AT  CHESS AND  FAR FROM IT,  BUT I  AM

OPEN TO LEARNING  MORE  TACTICS AND STRATEGY WITH  WHICH TO CONTROL

THE CENTER.  I  LIKE  IT      AND WOULD GIVE IT A TRY IF  I COULD

YOUR KING AND QUEEN PAWNS ARE OUT,  DEVELOPMENT IS  GOOD

THE  KING IS CASTLED  AND THE  QUEEN  IS NOT IN FOREFRONT  BUT BACK UNTIL

NEEDED,  YOUR  BISHOP IS  COVERING BLACKS F7 PAWN WHILE YOUR OTHER BISHOP COVER C 7 PAWN  AND  YOUR  KNIGHTS ARE DEVELOPED, BLACK IS NOT DEVELOPED  ,  BUT THIS IS  FROM  A BEGINNERS  POINT OF VIEW

I don't like it, both bishops are unprotected. And why a symmetrical configuration in an assymetrical game?

Everybody knows this is an ideal situation,but reality is usually bit different.

It is extremely hard to get to this position. Plus you can't forget about Black's moves. There will be conflict.

In fact, it is impossible to get to this place. With white castling, white has seven moves. That means at least one black knight would have to still be out.  Embarassed

But there is much center control by white if black allows it to get anywhere near this position!
