As bizarre as it sounds, the cow opening is a unique opening invented by the famous Woman's FIDE Master (WFM) Anna Cramling on 27th May 2023. Anna annoucned that it was her childhood dream to create an opening and after what took an eternity she finally accomplished her goal. Many people have labelled this opening as anti-traditional and advised not to use against higher rated players ,however, major chess icons such as Hikaru, Levy (GothamChess), Eric Rosen have experimented with this opening with a general success. Just like any other opening it involves developing the King and Queens pawn one step forward whilst bringing your 2 knights behind them and then developing your knights sideways. Then the player may promote his pawns and follow the usual rules for the middle and endgame. There's not much to discuss about this opening but we should appreciate someones's efforts and wish that nobody invents the fish opening in the future.
