I hate myself for this

Sort:
Pawntonic

I keep playing the " bishops opening " moving the bishop out first before my d pawn (white perspective. So I could get out the bishop before I move up the d pawn because it would block the bishop. I am also wondering if I could also play a Bishop Dragon, (if you know what that is) to develop bishop and stuff better. I used to play a variety of openings, now this is what I play, REGULARLY.

indeed you do

what is a bishop dragon?

A Fianchetto?

I'm guessing they mean a Bishop fianchetto..."Bishop Dragon" doesn't exist to my knowledge, but I know a lot of learning players get mixed up because the famous Sicilian Dragon opening includes a Bishop fianchetto and so several believe that all fianchetto positions are "Dragon" but this simply isn't true grin.png

I meant Fianchetto, but I call it dragon because it is cooler. grin.png

the bishop's opening is completely sound and fine, though it's usually better to develop knights before bishops

+1 This opening is fine, but typically it is easier to see where the Knights belong in a position, but the Bishops might depend more on how the opponent plays, so that is why typically moving the Knights first is better...it buys us time to see how the opponent plays before we commit Bishop(s) to diagonal(s).

Fianchetti usually are played in d4 positions rather than e4 positions, so the prospect of you playing a fianchetto in an e4 position is quite unorthodox. I would stick to playing regular bishop moves when you're starting out

Correction: Fianchettoes are most often played in 1. c4 and 1. Nf3 positions

DasBurner

well tbf d4 positions usually include nf3 and c4 anyway
