hi guys,i invented a line in the danish gambit where you have to be stockfish to not get smashed out of the opening but i don’t know how to officialise my new line. Any ideas?

i have no clue how you would go about to doing that, but i’m very curious to see it. could you post it or dm it to me? i used to play the danish gambit and i’m still pretty fond of it.
Openings become official due to widespread recognition usually from top games/ players. Your best bet is to convince a recognizable player to use it in some important blitz games. Of course the line would have to actually be that good to warrant it.
You could publish and extensive analysis of it.
Just defeat Magnus Carlsen with it.

Once or twice is enough.
This is how Reti made his opening official.

OK so I exagerrated in its utility but it’s teeming with traps, so you need to do THE right moves to avoid them. Here it is; 1.e4 e5 2.d4 exd4 3.c3 dxc3 4.Bc4 cxb2 5.Bxb2 d5 6.Bb3 I include 2 traps, here: 6...dxe4?? 7.Bxf7+ and white is winning. The second one: 6...Nf6 7.e5 Ne4 8.f3 Ng5 9.f4 Ne6 10.f5 Ng5 11.h4 and the knight is trapped. Oh yeah I’l try to be GM and beat other GMs with it (btw I thought of a name for it already). Thanks for the advice!

It is not new:
You can't make an opening "official." There is no international licensing body. If there was, the Ruy Lopez family would own all of Spain

First time I see tygxc say something that stupid...c3,f3,Qa4,Qh4,Kd1 and Qe1 isn’t "official" and has been played by magnus carlsen!
