Bsrti-invert might be the best setup

After some more analysis of bsrti-invert, I might conclude the following:

1. Given that blue is an unhelpful opposite, green is getting mated very fast, much faster than in bsrti setup or old standard. In bsrti setup, it is possible to last for long enough for green: around 12+ moves without losing material commonly.

2. BG also cannot always play king's pawn and queen's pawn if red opens either with king's pawn or queen's pawn respectively, in the meanwhile in bsrti setup blue can open up with queen's pawn and although this line is very theory heavy BG can easily play for an advantage.

We need a name because of how simple it is...just click home, mark teams, when you hover over 4 Player Chess, you can see the Omatamix setup on the screen, we also have the Old Standard and BSRTI for now. It's super easy...just hover over it, remember the setup and go to edit position. I was just trying to make it even easier with the other setups. It would be easier if we'd have bsrti-invert featured as well, so you can edit to any of the 16 setups using my list  in couple of seconds. It's also a comparison, which unknown setup is the most similar or should I say which of the already existing ones resembles most...

Yes, you are right of course. It would be nice if all setups are choosable by name. And maybe a random option as well. And the name should be very speaking because when people see it in the lobby they should know which setup it is...

After a certain amount of reconsideration and analysis, I may conclude that bsrti-invert (RG king swap) is the most varied and definitely the most intriguing setup there is, offering a great opening variety for all the players and a lot of highly complicated and deep lines just like the old standard and BY setup, any player can play KQ pawn and get away with it, there are lots of endgame oriented openings and opening bishop diagonals is not so easy without weakening yourself in an exchange for initiative or some other advantage.

Plus, RG setup is evaluated by the engines to be one of the most balanced setups, second most balanced of the symmetric ones according to phoenix and the most balanced symmetric one according to TeamTerminator.

And of course, just like BY switch, it saves all the sound openings from old standard.

 

this deserves a different name, we can't call it bsrti-invert. 

 

Must be itrsb then!

I like how it just rolls off the tongue and it's so easy to pronounce. tongue.png
