The opening is the phase of the game in which memorization is key. Players memorize 20+ moves of preparation to secure a slight edge. But I do something different. For most of my games, I don't use traditional opening theory and instead, I play outlandish moves that most of my opponents have never seen before. But looking back at all of the openings I play, I have noticed an interesting trend. 

Take for example the three games presented below:

1. 

2. 

3. 

Now what did all of these games have in common? No matter what color I was playing, In every opening, I pushed one of my knight pawns forward two squares. Normally, this puts your opponent out of prep. Furthermore, the pawn that I push is either protected, or is a poisoned pawn. Now this trick isn't a magic formula that will guarantee instant wins. I've had my own share of embarrassing losses. But maybe, just maybe, this secret can give you some fast, and brilliant victories.
