Need Help with Opening
umm....dont focus on getting this system, its looks horrible. focus on getting your pieces out. and think about what kind of pawn structure you want in the endgame.
LOL. It's a game of only white pieces? You should act according to opponent. If he allows to be more active you should be so)).
About the opening I hardly know any (anymore). I just play how I damn please and have fun while at it (even if i lose). But if you're concerned about openings, why "develop something on your own" when you can just follow some hundred of years tried and tested stuff that can be tailored to someone's style and strength?
By the way, I agree that at your level you shouldn't concern about learning to much. But knowing basic principles help, like getting your pieces out, understanding tempo and tempi, and avoid creating weaknesses in your pawn structure.
If you put the knight on e2 rather than f3, it's called the Botvinnik System.
This is correct. It helps your d4 pawn break by not blocking the bishop.
If Botvinnik were alive, he'd vomit at having his name attached to an opening with the word "system" in a situation where the positions of the black pieces were unknown.
The Botvinnik system is a system of development *against* certain, particular openings. If this were to begin 1.e4 e5 and then continue as shown above, Botvinnik would beat the perpetrator over the head with a shovel.
It ain't the Botvinnik system till we know where the black pieces are.
