Hello guys. I just wanna ask can we invent a new and sound opening/system/variation ? All the sound openings are discovered. ( Maybe some of them not, and we will discover )

I'd imagine, everything worth looking at in the first ~5 moves has already been studied thoroughly and either discarded as sub-optimal, or accepted in the theory. You can certainly make up openings that aren't very popular and playable, but you will always be outplayed in the opening by an opponent sticking to the theory.

If you want to avoid playing by the book at start, take a look at chess 960, there you will have to think outside the box from the very first move.

There's only 20 first moves for white and 20 responses for black. But realistically how many are actually played? Then how many transpose? Like e3 usually transposes into Larsens opening. Ya know? If you want to contribute anything find a nuance in an already used line.
