I use it all the time, however, ones whom know how to attack it "very few" victory comes fast for them. other players spend alot of time trying to figure it out while I assasinate the nights and bishops. No pawn war here, if you play it right your a winner, one wrong move and your on the defense!

I have't played chess since university and when I started on Chess.com I was 2-6, then I started using this opening and have racked up a 13-1 record since then. If you set it up and your opponent knows how to defend it, it will be a great game. If your opponent doesn't recognize this opening you will beat him every time.

It’s a very strong defensive strategy. However, you must castle ASAP. Then you can safely open the other side of the game. It provides wide range of creative plays on the other side, but at castle side the game will be locked. BTW, lovely configuration even if it is not used in opening.

I would like to see entire game outcomes with this. Its a very odd defensive. I have not used it so I am not sure of what outcomes can be aquired from it. I think I will have to try it from time to time.

It Looks Very nice.......... g3 or b3 is best to try, if you never do it!

It appears to be a hyper modern opening or sorts; a reserved Pirc or Modern Defense to be exact I would think... I think it is as just about most openings are perfectly playable, but I myself enjoy a variety of classical openings usually...

I would have thought the 'birds' opening would be more popular than this.

Why is this classified as A00 if this is played all the time?

Statistically 1.g3 scores as good as (or better than) the other top five opening moves. It allows fewer Black wins than 1.e4 and easily transposes into several other openings; KIA, Reti, Queen's Pawn, etc. Pretty impressive! Cool

Block with 1.e5, followed by Nf6 and e4. This is risky, but blocks the bishop.

 

With white, I managed to get the bishops stuck like this.Eventualyl the center "exploded", but at that point my king is safely castled and his one was still in e8.

Its a scary opening,cause if your opponent play wisely they will crash you,but if they don't see it then i guess you know.

i play this opening alot,you give up the cener of the board but its not so hard to gain it back if you bring your knight out from the other side of the board

great opening for counter attacking players (like me)

may be followed by c4/Nc3/Bg2 to transpose to an English (possibly 2knights)  with fianchetto variation. significantly reduces the help your opponent will receive from opening study or online database checking.

the best option for black is to remove the bishop a quickly as possible
