Yes. By 'opening Black' I mean opening up your queen and or bishop onto the black (ie dark) squares. Perhaps a name change is in order

@VAOhlman Red can easily be exploited if he doesn't open h2-h3. Your second two suggestions are pretty bad, especially the h2-h4. f2-f4 is acceptable, but h2-3 is still better.

They aren't so much my suggestions as my observations. Certainly h2-h3 is by far the most popular opening for high ranked players. The others tend to get played by lower ranking (below 1600 or even below 1400) players for the most part.

King's pawn opening, and Queen's pawn opening, like in chess. The first move with central pawns should not have weird names imo.
As far as the names so far I am only using:
1) Names which have been suggested to me in the forums and
2) Where they don't exist, names that make sense to me in order to remember what they do etc.
Maybe in a while we can sponsor a vote for given names. What do you propose for H2-H3, for example?

king's pawn, since it is in front of the king
Well, it can't just be 'king's pawn', since it only goes one, not two... or there has to be a difference.
Why I don't particularly like that name is that while that is where it is, and in normal chess that makes a lot of difference, what is happening in four player is very different. Moving that pawn out is not attempting to control the center with the king's pawn... it is getting the king's pawn out of the way so the bishop and queen can do their thing.
But I'll add it to my database... 'King's Pawn One' I guess.
H3 is hugely dramatically more popular among good players.
So far in my list of common or popular openings I have exactly four opening moves for Red.
1. H2-H3
Opening Black
This is by far the most popular moves, going by the number of variants. (I am hoping to soon have stats on this).
1. F2-F4
Opening Black Bishop Long
1. H2-H4
Opening Black Long
1. G2-G3
Opening White
I am interested in hearing from everyone as far as other openings... first move red openings altho giving me a continuation is fine... that they think is powerful enough to be considered a viable candidate.
