Here's a new and interesting opening line I came across. Its called the Green Castle-Indian Defense designed for black. A USCF Master named Matt Pullin (known by the username "greencastle") first theorised this opening and has made pretty interesting videos on youtube. Below are the links to the videos and its variations (opens in new tab ).

1) Introduction and 4.a3

2) 4.d5

3) 4.e4

4) 4.Nf3

Below is sequence to the initial moves

 

I am really interested in playing this line with <1600 players. We can play both as white and black. Do watch his videos and if anyone is tempted as i am then just challenge me. Laughing

Is that like a reverse Torre Attack? Innocent

Aha! the torre attack, I know it well.

<sauron5012> Just make sure you also know the french since white could transpose on move 2.
