Ok, I have recently been studying openings from people on youtube (mostly jrobichess), and I wanted to see if any of these openings are good. So I came up with an experiment I wanted to share with you guys. I want to play some unrated games where I use the opening, and see how it fares. Anyone wanna help? It will also help them play against the opening. Plus, if you want, you can challenge me to a game where YOU play the opening, and I play against it. If we organize a game, I will put the opening lines in the forum post and in a message in the game. But make sure if you make a challenge, follow the rules:
-You MUST be rated 1200-1600 (I don't want too hard or too easy of a challenge)
-You have to put the name of the opening we are testing as the title of the game.
-You have to make a post on this forum to let me know whether I play the opening, or you play the opening.
-It must be an opening from the list (below). But, exceptions are made if you ask to play another opening you know, but you have to provide me with the opening lines, and then depending on whether I think we should play it or not, I will approve or disapprove it.
Here is the list:
King's Gambit Accepted
King's Gambit Declined
Queen's Gambit Accepted
Queen's Gambit Declined
Alekhine Defense
Dutch Defense Stonewall Variation
Reti Opening
Sicilian Defense Classical Variation
Sicilian Defense Najdorf Variation
peachter
sure
which opening do you want?
benedictus
Can I play black in King's Gambit Accepted? I know very little about it and I'd like to learn more...
I'd also enjoy Poisoned Pawn in Najdorf with me being white. I know more about this one, but I haven't tested it in a game yet.
ok, just challenge me benedictus.
