great opening. I use it a lot. it leads to good defense on king side and gives you a lot of choices.
interesting opening but I prefer the Reti which goes like this
1. Nf3 d5, 2. c4 e6, 3. g3 ...
A very mis-understood opening. Although somewhat timid at times, it can transpose into several other positions with little or no warning. I've played this opening against IM's with good results, especially under time constraints. You must be prepared to look at the board completely as tactics evolve for both sides.
The only thing i see wrong with this is that it leaves e4 open to your opponent. To me the goal of an opening is to gain control of d5 (or black equivalent: e4). After all, it was in this way that Fischer won so many of his games; take control of d5 and never let it go. This opening seems to be playing into your opponents' hands. But I'll have to try it and see.
it leaves the center open for your opponent...
Ill have to give this one a try
This opening is an attacker's delight.
i tried this opening and it worked well from the beginning
i like it....need to study it more..
I agree with PawnRaider except that white also has to focus in controlling the center coz if his center collapse then the attack of white on the flank will be limited. The counter attack of black on the queen side may be a little bit late. KIA players will understand this point of view. You want to know more about this opening, start reading now coz you will really learn a lot.
This is the only opening I play as white.
I am going to try and use this opening in the future.
I like it as black, because black is usually defensive. As white, I don't trust it....too passive. As black, i've used it as a defense and won about 85% or more of my games with it against opponents rating from 1000-1500.
the opening is very good agained average players with a low mind with attacking
I tried this, I loss right away.
it's defensive not attacking but i tihnk it's easy to break this defense. ı don't prefer rook at the begining.
good opening! I like it a lot. do you think dad will take us out for ice cream later?
I play
I think it is a defensive move more that attack
I prefer avery beginig whit queen pawn bacuse it give you many choices
A very nice opening.
