My own Opening

I think this is a better representation of the game he showed you.  The opening that he showed you was if black made no moves at all.  This is not an actual opening.  Its a sequence of moves that shows a beginner where the ideal places for his peices are given that it is a completely open board.  This excercise is a teaching tool to show the novice why we want control over the center where do we want our rooks so on.  The truth is that black is going to want his fair share of the center.

Actually... It is not bad as Opening Games or Opening Systems go!

It is like adding the Italian Game and the London System together!

Of course you would not ever get a chance to reach this setup in a game as you also have to respond to your opponents play! But it does have Merit. Here White strives for Rapid Development, Occupies and Controls the Center, Completes Development by move 9 without having moved the same piece twice and follows the axiom of Knights before Bishops! Not so bad, just not Practical.

I live in Atlanta and they teach kids that opening.  As stated in previous posts its not a practical opening but should be used as a guide.  Play your opponent and the board and word towards mate.

Yes, but the KIA makes no critical claim to the center. That is the price you pay for having to learn very little theory.

wtf?? you know, black must play too. you can't get in that kind of position if black has a little brain. :)

sorry for bad english

In response to the OP, why block in the c-pawn if you don't have to? IMO you should take a look at the KID classical to see what white does when black waits to make a claim to the center.

bad opening, and people wont mirror you so its unrealistic that it would fall into place like that
