As I was browsing thru some games on here, I found this beautiful bloodthirsty gem that I'm sure cannot be found in any book of openings (at least I can't find it anywhere - so I get to name it Cool ).

The Queenikazee Opening not only trades off Queens early, but white takes down a  black pawn, rook, and knight with her!!  There are 5 captures in the first 6 moves!!  Not since The Bride in Quentin Tarantino's movie Kill Bill have I seen one woman responsible for so much carnage!!  Wink 

It would appear that black makes many blunders in this opening, and is sacrificing too much material for the lead in development to be worth it.  If this game continued to be a full-scale massacre of black by white, then I would have chalked it up as a severly imbalanced game.  BUT BLACK WON THIS GAME!!!

This got me curious as to how this would go if the same players played this opening from BOTH sides.  So I have created The Quick Queenikazee Tournament to test it out.  I'm also curious as to the minimum time that a tournament can be completed in, so I have this one set with all the fastest possible settings.  The games are unrated (since this is just an experiment), but since there is no way to start the tournament from a position that's not already in their database of openings, I need to make this an Invitation-Only Tournament, and work on the "honor system." 

The first 3 people to contact me (send me a message), and state explicitly that they agree to follow these opening moves will get to play.

For some reason, the system doesn't like that picture.  The new Custom Trophy is:
