An Opening You'd Never Think Of Using

I was recently inspired to design a chess opening no one has ever created before. I call it the Lowlands Defense, based on the place where I live. Look and see (this is the regular variation):

1. ...b6 has a name (Owen's Defense) and it sucks.

I think it transposed into a 2...b6 Sicilian somewhere along the way.

I'd say white is better after 7 Ndb5

wait nevermind after 7 Ndb5 black has e5. but I guess white still does have a small positional advantage

and your analysis is sort of messed up. 2. Nc3 is weird. probably better is d4 Bb7 Bd3, where white can build a big pawn center with c4, d4 and e4.

also, for your annotations on move 2: But a bluff attack is created. Black has used his bishop to place pressure on the black center. 

first of all, black center? neither side owns the complete center yet. and why would you want to pressure your own center?

A poor effort. 1 e4 b6 is not a novelty at all but some 150+ years old named the Owen Opening after the strong 19th century English amateur Rev. Owen who won (and lost) a game against Morphy with it, among others.

In my opinion, every good opening is taken already, and this is definitelly not a strong contender. 7.Ndb5 refutes it, but so do so many other things such as 2.d4, the main move. There is 1 idea, but I doubt it's any good for black. 

@jposthuma: good idea with Nd5 I never saw that

also I have a question, after 9 Bg5 I think better is f6, but it still give black a horrible cramped position.

Yeah I'm not impressed with it.  After 1.d4,b6?! 2.e4! I don't have to worry about French, Caro-Kahn, or transposing into a four knights after 1.e4,e5 2.Nf3,Nf6 3.Nc3 (3...Bb4 is also possible where I'd try transposing into a reversed Neo-Archangelsk or Marshall Attack) to avoid a dull and overly balanced Petrov (the Four Knights seems too balanced at first but it's easy to imbalance things as shown by some of Petrosian and others' white games with it). 

pretty sure with your move order (d4 b6 e4)

play might transpose into a queens indian or something.

WAIT shoot Bg5 doesnt work :/

Anways... good for white.

1.d4,b6 2.e4 Queen's Indian can't work since it transposed to a king pawn game.  2...Bb7 3.Bd3,e6 4.c3,c5 5.Nf3 and white has a good game. 

instead of 7... e5 I'd play safe and go with Rc8 IMO

in your analysis you play Nd6 Bxd6 Bxd6 Nxd4, but I prefer Nge7

oh yeah I forgot about that.

and isn't black just better after 11. 0-0-0, Bxe4 wins a pawn I think.

Well, jposthuma the move brings your queen out too early leaving it quite vulnerable to attacks.  What you are saying is correct, this opening is not very strong.

the OP has not responded yet. I wonder why 

Well, sometimes there are exceptions to the rules. :)

I think in this case, Qf3 would be an acceptable move. 

umm, jposthuma, you still haven't answered my question. after 11. 0-0-0. Bxe4 wins a pawn.
