May I present the knight fianchetto

This devastating move will bring your opponent on his knees in a truly hypermodern style

What do you think?!

There are a few opening principles of which I am aware which should guide your play.  

1. Develop pieces

2. Play to influence the center either by direct or indirect attack

3. Move toward castling

4. Don't move the same piece twice, if you can help it.

I don't think this is an exhaustive list, but I think it's a good starting point.   Obviously these are not hard and fast rules, and in the Alekhine's defense for instance you move the same piece more than once in the main line.

That being said, I don't know that I see the value in moving the knight three times only to deprive the bishop a fianchetto square in which it would be objectively more powerful.  I feel as well that it creates the potential for weaknesses on the light squares on white's king side.  Also, consult the checklist up there and compare the opening you are offering and whether it achieves those goals.  I think it is debateable whether several of the objectives are being achieved with this strategy. 

All of this is speculation though, I am not a terribly good player and maybe you're onto something.  

Hey, well it's not as bad as a "rook fianchetto."

A) Black hangs a pawn.

B) According to GM Seraiwan, the worst squares for a white knight are b2 and g2. While other GM's may not claim these are the worst, there is a reason that you don't spend 3 moves placing a knight there.

I like it.

Would look even more elegant with the queen's knight also fianchettoed.

Like a pair of ears.

Maybe it is the Foxhead opening?

guys

i think it's a joke

It's the new ultrahypermodern style of chess. You are old school man.

Yeah! A follower finally! I think more people should work on developing and experimenting with this because it's clearly underrated and will surprise your opponent.

Hold fast to your dreams man!   Some folks thought my "Neoarcheology" idea was out there. 

The book "The Chess Doctor" isn't fond of knights on d2,e2,d7,and e7.

I have a current opponent who likes to play Ne7, Ng6 in the opening.  Perhaps I can convince him to go the full monty.

sigh

this is the kind of thing chess really needs. fresh thinking.

Believe it or not there really is an opening that you fianchetto your knight. In some variations of the Czech Benoni, Black plays the moves Nf6, c5, e5, d6, Be7, 0-0 (here it comes!!) g6, Ne8, Ng7 this is usually followed up by f5 at some point.

Its ok but I prefer the bishop fianchettoed.

Ahh really? I need to adopt it

Good idea, wasting 4 moves doing nothing while Black develops...

Some things in life, Yohan, are best not hurried.

Is this being sarcastic or serious? 'Cuz it seems to me that White has problems.

It is a lighthearted thread Yohan, take it with a pinch of salt.
