Gedult's Opening - 1. f3 - team match game starting

Sort:
check2008

I have started a team match starring Gedult's Opening, 1. f3. So far, no team has accepted, but it's only been a few minutes.

There will be a minimum of 24 players before I look our team (or the other team's maximum if it's <24). 

I know Gedult's opening is considered one of the worst openings for white. But all unorthodox openings are considered bad in a way. That's why we play them. We want to prove people wrong. We want to show them that when you know how to handle an opening, any opening, you can do great things with it.

If 1. f3 d5, then 2. e4 dxe4 3. fxe4 and white stands decently. If 2... d4, then white can often transpose into a more common opening. 

Since our knight on g1 can't reach f3 as it usually does, we bring it to h3 followed by bringing it to f2. For example, if 1. f3 e5 2. Nh3 d5 then 3. Nf2 Nf6 4. e3 Nc6 5. Be2 Bc5 6. O-O O-O. 

Often 1. f3 can lead to a variation of the Blackmar-Diemer gambit: 1. f3 d5 2. e4 dxe4 3. Nc3.

F3 is awful, but once in a blue moon transposes to a Samisch Indian

Here is a list of unorthodox openings I play as black

after 1 E4, C6 2 d4 d5, 3Nc3 4 dxe4 Nxe4, 5 Nf6 Nxf6 Gxf6 the  knight variation of the Caro Kann does weaken white's pawn structure, but it gets white's knight to move 3 times in the opening

After I d4, c5. the benoni is a great, solid opening and it is unorthodox, what you want.

And as white,

1D4 NF6 2 c4 e6 3 nc3 Bb4  4 a3. The Saemisch variation of the Indian forces the two bishops, But weakens white's pawn structure. (If black doesnt trade his bishop will get trapped)
