Good job. I am wondering when this started to be called the 'Barcza', though. I have always seen this opening referred to as the King's Indian Attack (and the Wikipedia page for "Barcza Opening" redirects to the KIA.)

I also have never heard it called the Barcza.  Also, whenever I play vs 1.Nf3 they usually transpose into a Queens Gambit or English opening.

I clicked solution to see the sequence of moves that you have and I was just wondering...

Why doesn't White play 6.Nd4! - it may be followed by 7.Nc6 forking the Queen & Rook?

Similarly, On move 7, why doesn't Black play 7...Nd5! which could be followed by 8...Nc3 forking Queen & Rook?

Just wondering!

It's always been the Barcza, before leading into the King's Indian. 

 

1.Nf3 2.g3 3.Bg2 4.O-O is the base Barcza, which then leads off into several different openings.  It was originally created by Gedeon Barcza (1911-1986).

 

Glad to see you're liking the Barcza, Vernon Laughing  I knew you would

This is a cool opening.  But after black plays 26...Nd5, why doesn't white play 27. Qxd8?  Then white would have black's queen and put the king in check.  White can then take black's knight at d5, too.  I don't know - maybe that move would be too brash?

your right but i didnt even notice it at the time

cool! however why can"t balack play 20.be3+ and take whites queen and the game? just wondering... please let me know your opinion.
vernon

black 20... bxe3+ takes the pawn with his bishop backed by the knight. says check and attacks the queen at the same time winning the game. any comments? please let me know

I've always been a fan of the Barcza variation known as the Nimzowitsch Opening, where as a second move you fianchetto on the opposite side.  The major downside that I haven't been able to overcome with the regular or variation is the inability to reinforce the center, usually leading to an overall loss.

barcza was named after the Hungarian grandmaster gedeon barcza. barcza really provides nothing to learn by heart and you can play here without very caution for your king. the best way to deal with barcza with black is hedgehog
