1.E4 B5 Opening?

I was wondering what people thought about this opening for black. I can't find it in the openings database.

I played a couple games with it and the only problem I can find is if the light bishop can get boxed in.

1.The only problem? Completely ignoring the fact it gives away a pawn for nothing after 2.Bxb5.

2.The LSB gets boxed in, i would think the only think you could try to claim as compensation is that your LSB doesnt get boxed in.

lol

Oh I didn't see the loss of the pawn. Thanks

Thanks, I'll try that one.

A suggestion then: instead of trying to make up novel openings based on positional considerations, sharpen up your awareness of whether a given move leaves material waiting to be taken next move. :)

Also, as a general rule, if it's before move 20 and nobody has tried it yet, there's going to be a good reason why.

To be fair though, we all like to try ideas out and it's part of how we learn. I wouldn't care to post my brilliant opening innovations from forty years ago for all to PALATR about. :D

I hearby proclaim this move (b5) the Uandi Gambit, long live the king.

It's crap. Has to be said.

Gimmick openings always are...they can be fun in blitz games. 

Presumably you don't mean the black king, because I don't think he'll live very long in this opening.

I was originally trying it in lighting 1 minute games. Where people didn't see that move and got confused. After that I played it in a 10 minute game where someone didn't take it and I looked it up in the database but didn't find anything.

Thanks
