UPDATE:
I just received a reply from Borislav Ivanov. Here's what he said:
Houdini declare that white in the opening is play slightly inaccurate. However, I have beat against Houdini so many times, so what it say not important. I think it is very good opening.
I also showed the game and my findings to a Chinese friend of mine, and he sent the game to Hou Yifan. Soon thereafter I received a reply from her, and she said:
这个开局看上去很有意思。第一眼看上去白方的下法有些问题,但经过仔细考虑之后,我想不出来黑方能够怎样利用这些问题使自己占有优势。我还需要更仔细地研究才能得出一个明确的结论。不过我很惊讶为什么自己和前辈的大师们从来就没有想到过可以这样开局。
According to Google translate, here's what she said:
The start looks very interesting. White dismount first glance some of the problems, but after careful consideration, I have no idea how to use the black side of these issues can make your own advantage. I also need to be studied more carefully in order to come to a clear conclusion. But I am surprised why the gurus themselves and their predecessors had never thought of it can be start.
I haven't received any other replies yet, but both of these experts think that the opening is worthy of further consideration, and I'm sure that the other guys I sent the game to will think the same, if they actually take the time to sit down and think about it. I just hope that they don't think so highly of themselves that they won't eve consider taking suggestions from a lowly patzer like myself.
There is a common saying that "history will be the judge" of everything. A person or event should not be judged until some time has passed after the person's death or after the event occurred, so that they can be put in historical perspective. Now, why do I bring this up? After all, this is chess.com, not history.com. Well, I'm bringing this up because it has been almost 2 years since Daeth created his "Invinted a new opining, how do I get it named after me" thread. At the time he created the thread, it gained wide notoriety, and the opining that he invinted was condemned as an inferior opining. However, one could argue that this negative public response had more to do with the arrogant and rude attitude that Daeth displayed in his thread, which alienated many people and made them hate him before even considering whether or not what he had to say was valid, and less with the opining itself. Now, Daeth's thread has been deleted (for reasons that to this day still remain unclear), and a sufficient time has passed since the opining was first invinted, for us to take an objective look at the opining once again, and judge it out of the context of the thread in which it was first introduced. With this purpose in mind, I, being the avid chess enthusiast and opining theorist that I am, played a game in which I tested out the Daeth opining. Before I talk about any of the conclusions of my experiment, here is the game, with detailed annotations by myself:
So, as you all can see, even though I made some pretty serious blunders in the early midgame, I still managed to win because of the solid position that I got from the opening. Of course, I admit that it wasn't all because of the opening - part of it was my creative thinking and determination to win. Still, the opening played a big role in my victory, and we can imagine that if I hadn't made so many blunders, I would have had a huge advantage after the opening, and won easily.
Now, some of you may say: look, you only won because black responded to your opening inacccurately. Yes, that is partly true; however, first of all that shows how difficult it is to respond to the Daeth opining correctly. Afer all, my opponent spent a lot of time and effort thinking about how to respond, to the point where by the end of the game, he couldn't even think straight anymore... and yet he still didn't respond accurately. Now, if he had thought hard enough to respond correctly, I can imagine that he probably would have collapsed in front of his computer in the middle of the game. So therefore, in long games that require a lot of effort, the Daeth opining is a very good choice. It is even better for matches like the WCC, where two players play a series of games against each other, because if white plays the Daeth opining, then black will have to spend so much effort countering it that chances are he will still be somewhat affected during the next game that they play. So if one player always plays the Daeth opining as white, then his opponent will essentially be forced to play the entire match in a sub-optimal mental condition!!!
Thus, to conclude, my research and analysis convincingly demonstarte that the Daeth opining is a very effective opining, and will likely play a hugely important role in the future of chess. With a discovery this imporant, I could have written a book, published it, and made myself huge amounts of money. However, being the chess enthusiast that I am, the future is of chess is much more important to me than my own financial success, which is why I have decided to post my findings on the chess.com forums instead. In addition, I have also mailed a copy of the game and my analysis to Magnus Carlsen, Vladimir Kramnik, Visawatha... Anand, Levon Aronian, Fabiano Caruana, Alexander Grischuk, Boris Gelfang, Vassily Ivanchuk, Borislav Ivanov, and Sebastien Lebel, with the hope that they, out of all the people in the world, will be able to fully comprehend the significance of my findings, and put them to use.
