Is this an acceptable "opening/defence" for black. White will seem to have trouble to get that queen to budge while developping pieces, to try to gain a tempo. If Be3, then Black responds with Qb4, threathening the b2 pawn , which becomes hard to defend.

Considering black is always a tempo behind, is this a correct opening for black.  PS: If you think white should have played this differently ( apart from accepting the "gambit"), please post.

 

 

While I'm on the subject, here's an interesting gambit I discovered, violating a few chess prinicpales, like not wasting tempo, not moving your queen early and not sacrificing pieces... yet  , I LIKE IT !

 

It lets white developp his pieces a lot, but the king's position is horrible. White is now obiged to castle queenside now, which will take an eternity seeing that no piece on that side is moved yet.

 I know that there's almost no chance white is going to open like this, BUT IF HE DOES...

although your queen is in a good position i think white has alot more positioning and choices.

First position, white's best is 2: d5. Myself, I even prefer 2: c3 and 2: e3 (or even 2: Nf3) to 2: dxc5. As played, retaking with the queen I think is going to provide not much chance for a white edge.

Second position, black is not doing well at all. White does not have to castle queenside, and how is black going to recover this pawn? It is defended by the knight, and even if it is recovered, meanwhile white has plenty of king safety on the kingside plus the open f file, and better development. I think black would win very few games with this "opening" between evenly matched opponents.

For your first position, 2. Bd2 seems like a good defense against the check. It opens up a piece for castling, and it attacks your queen, forcing you to move it. If you choose to attack the "weak" b2 pawn, it can easily be defended by moving it up one, allowing for it to be protected by its two neighboring pawns. Keep exploring these openigns though, because they could turn into something good with enough analysis...

the first game is not so unusual because i've seen it before,you cannot trust 100% that the gambit will be accepted then what do you do? i don't see an advantage to playing it either way..

the second game,white openned up his weak side,terrible game!!
