if there is a new opening that i made up do i get to name it?
It will probably end up being named after
A. Some grandmaster who played a few brilliant games with it
B. Someone who analyzes the opening and develops the theroy behind it.
And I doubt that there are many (if any) openings that haven't already been named.
Creating a new opening isn't impossible even in this day and age, and it doesn't have to be something really original. Try taking a current opening and find a new variation for it and then back it up with a highly analysed theory behind it.
eg; Sicilian Defence - Dragon Variation (already been done) Sicilian Defence - Najdorf Variation (already been done) Sicilian Defence - Gorilla Counter-Attack Variation (new variation that strikes fear and confuses even the greatest of GMs...)
lol
I got to name my gambit, you should get to name your opening also.
