this is how you start off an "Indian game" which the Indians who started chess used alot, u can develope just as fast...

When you get an experienced player playing 'unusual' openings (what ever those are supposed to be) then you are playing his game in some fashion whether you want to or not. If you are not comfortable with them then don't play them. (posted months ago in response to splash54, but I forgot to submit after previewing :)

you sound like a copy writer salamence. I play this opening with E4 then F4. an aggresive version of the kings gambit and that's saying something. its fun, deadly and occasionaly self distructive but why not?

I Like more oN UNORTHODOX OPENINGS

and this opening is what I like!!!

this is an example of Unorthodox Opening if I'm not mistaken!

I love this opening!!!

Whatever turns your key.  I tried this a few times as a beginner and always ended up regretting it on some level.  Surprises or unusual openings don't tend to throw off experienced players who are going to play their game not yours.

quote:"why on earth would someone play this opening? You should open with a pawn to make it easy to develop your pieces! this just closes everything in."

 

Isn't that like saying that black should always play a pawn move in response to d4 or c4 and should never play 1...Nf6? As I said, 1.Nc3 can very quickly turn into a K pawn opening, in which case you are back in "normal" lines. But then, Nc3 isn't looking for normal to begin with.

seeing that white wins 50% of it's games discounting draws, so what? might as well try it.

The critcal concept of 'never blocking the c-pawn' has also been leveled at the Nimzovich defense. However, there are numerous openings where both white and/or black block the c-pawn, particularly in King side openings. Why is this so different? The Van Geet can transpose quickly into many of them, and if it doesn't then you're into newer territory which isn't necessarily bad.

I've been using this opening along time i was always winning c3,b3,b2 and continue with e4 but c3 isn't such a good opening for some players who like to developing pieces now i using opening with e4 and continue

I don't like this opening for white, if i were to play it , it's not what i had in mind , my c pawn is blocked it and I'm allowing black to build a strong pawn center, but like the other coments every game will depend on the current choices of moves.

could develope

I think saying it's 'not the best' is far too much of a generalization. For that matter, what is the best? It's very open ended without the reams of analysis like other openings. It's extremely flexible and can easily transpose into many 'standard' lines. 

can't tell only one piece moves cant get black to move

Hey, what do I know? I’ve only been doing this for fifteen minutes. It seems like he’s trying to confuse Black with a weird opening. I’ll have to try it.

I don't see much wrong with it. It deveopes a piece, controls e4 and leaves white's options open and black guessing. White can mould his opening around black's response. Not as good as e4 or d4, but it's OK in my opinion.

that is like sicilian

not my style either

• how is effective ..............????

 My style, not the best move though!

not my style, but might be of some use to other players.
