Weird Openings

  • International 
  • Formed: Mar 13, 2011
  • This group is for player's who would like to play some weird opening's. All our team matches will start with some sort of an odd opening, but just becouse we play weird openings doesn't mean we only play bad openenings. I will start games by request and the opening in the game can be requested as well.

  • That looks weird indeed. It​looks like a failed​hippopotamous which is a sound​opening​(http://www.chess.com/forum/vi​ew/chess-openings/hippopotamus​-defence). Let's try it in a​team match instead :)

  • I'm up for a team match...I always prefer one game at a time though. Same thing with tournaments.

  • ...group. I haven't decided which opening yet. (not sure why, but a part of the note disappeared. Maybe I wrote too much)

  • Hi irrawang and welcome to my group! The weirders opening I have played is 1.a3 a5 2.b4 the polish gambit which was a team match in this group. It looks like a very dobvius pawn sacrifice and not surprisingly black won all games (It was only 2 games, but anyway). But even if some opening is unsound and give black the advantage I think it was a bit funny to play anyway. I currently do not want to start new games at the moment, but I think I should start a new team match soon for the rest of the g

  • Hi, I'm new here. The weirdest openings I've played have been in thematic tournaments... the crazy crab and the creepy crawly, both were a lot of fun
