for those who understand this opening, it's a gem! For those who think it's a useless opening, meet me in a rapid game to find out.

I think black can move d4 if white opens by this manner.....that may not be good for white one.....

he he he

this opening is one of my favourite

This opening seems kind of weird. 

Doesn't look like you have too many options.

it is the urangutang opening and i play it alot since i seen computer impossible play it. black gets alot of counter play in the centre and can kick the knight off f3 with its pawn advancing on e file. white king side is also week but if white knows fully how to handle it, it has not been refuted. the caro kahn defence is mostly played as a defence with qb6. also a5. the french style sicilian is very strong defence agianst this opening. some people who play black against the urangutang play f6 to support the e5 pawn but its wrong and white can win most of them games when f6 is played. when i could not beat someone in bullit with e4 or d4 i usually could with b4 as most will be unprepared for it

well... I check it on wiki....

hmm... really funny and intersting story.... :)

Solskly (spelling not correct), Orang-utan & Polish Openings are the same.  It was given orang-utan Opening by a famous player because that was the first move a orang-utan made.  Check it out yourself if you don't believe me.

@tfulk

the orangutan? well... I'm from indonesia, and I never heard that...

are you sure?

I've heard this opening called "the orangutan." I've never had the guts to use it. For one thing, I haven't played through it . Maybe I shall research it.

I have'nt yet figured it out as of yet but can we go any further with this move than just the first move? I curious on how I can learn the new openings further. I'm not a paying member as of yet, money is kind of funny, but maybe someone can tell me how much I can actually learn from this particular Website free of charge? My e-mail is marcmorris82@gmail.com and thanks a lot whoever knows throughly  and acknowledges this memo/questionare.  As far as the opening goes, in all my years I've never really seen this played, I am going for a masters level in chess though and I play every day faithfully so I need as much opening experience as possible if you know what I mean. Chess is one of my deepest passions. God Bless. I would love to partake with and in this opening as to the possible outcomes in there many forms.

blah blah blah

jaylaine, if I were to play first move a4 & then c4 against you, I'll would still come up victorious. What more using the b4 opening! ;)

it was a good opening but if you use that move for me, it was a very useless move!

this move is good coz it control black's king side...this move will place white's bishop on it's perfect square....tell me how bad is this opening??there's no need to rush to control center..black simply can control center since it moves after white..black wouldn't dare to castled queen side since white pawns are already advanced there....black is in serious trouble if black doesn't now what white's real intention...believe me and your opponents will totally blurr...

don't like it

This is a terrible opening. The queen can't move and the pawn isn't controlling the center

In what way it is a bad opening?  I hope it is not because you don't understand it!

bad opening
