i was introduced to this opening and it has helped me alot i have won every game i played using it so far.It sets up and amazing offence and wonderful defence you should give it a try.

Good luck with it.

Good job. I am wondering when this started to be called the 'Barcza', though. I have always seen this opening referred to as the King's Indian Attack (and the Wikipedia page for "Barcza Opening" redirects to the KIA.)

 

I also have never heard it called the Barcza.  Also, whenever I play vs 1.Nf3 they usually transpose into a Queens Gambit or English opening.

well the first part allowing the castle is the barcza or so ive been told and the rest is KIA and just all out war

I clicked solution to see the sequence of moves that you have and I was just wondering...

Why doesn't White play 6.Nd4! - it may be followed by 7.Nc6 forking the Queen & Rook?

Similarly, On move 7, why doesn't Black play 7...Nd5! which could be followed by 8...Nc3 forking Queen & Rook?

Just wondering!

It's always been the Barcza, before leading into the King's Indian. 

 

1.Nf3 2.g3 3.Bg2 4.O-O is the base Barcza, which then leads off into several different openings.  It was originally created by Gedeon Barcza (1911-1986).

 

Glad to see you're liking the Barcza, Vernon   I knew you would

ya i love it it helps alot and because this was a game i played with my brother and he doesnt know about all of that

This is a cool opening.  But after black plays 26...Nd5, why doesn't white play 27. Qxd8?  Then white would have black's queen and put the king in check.  White can then take black's knight at d5, too.  I don't know - maybe that move would be too brash?

your right but i didnt even notice it at the time

cool! however why can"t balack play 20.be3+ and take whites queen and the game? just wondering... please let me know your opinion.

he cant take the queen my pawn is in the way

black 20... bxe3+ takes the pawn with his bishop backed by the knight. says check and attacks the queen at the same time winning the game. any comments? please let me know

oh wow that was a great observation thanks and i dont know why he didnt he is just learnin to play practically and didnt c it i guess

nice way 2 checkmate

I've always been a fan of the Barcza variation known as the Nimzowitsch Opening, where as a second move you fianchetto on the opposite side.  The major downside that I haven't been able to overcome with the regular or variation is the inability to reinforce the center, usually leading to an overall loss.
