Unusual opening

Sort:

I made this opening up. It's probably not very good, but I beat most people at school with it. I challenge you to find its weaknesses and strengths, and find some good moves for black! If you want to see a particular order of the opening, you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKc9RekJVI0

This is absolutely moronic.  Black gets moves too.  Against 1.e4 (what the moronic video shows) I play 1...e5!.  Now Bf4 is a blunder.  Fianchettoing the Kingside just sees the Bishop bite on a White piece of concrete sitting on e4.  The moment Black plays c6 makes Nd5 impossible.

The whole concept is retarded.

Oops, I just realized that you can modify the opening whenever you play it. That's what I was trying to say. Like if an opponent is threatening a piece, don't do the next move in the opening, and do something else. No wonder why it seemed moronic! Smile

 

By the way, I said a "particular order". You can also start with c4, then Nc3,then Qb2.

The f3-Knight, f4-Bishop and b3-Queen are misplaced. Other than that, it's just a slightly modified Botvinnik system.

If you want to reach this sort of piece deployment, you would be better off entering it from 1. c4 instead of 1. e4... since that excludes more of the ways that Black might derail your system.

The Botvinnik System relies largely on the Pawn-breaks f2-f4 and.or b2-b4 for its activity. That's one reason that I said those three pieces (f3-Knight, f4-Bishop and b3-Queen) are on the wrong squares. They hinder your Pawn breaks and reduce your activity instead of increasing it.
