New Chess Opening. "The Banana Opening"

Avatar of simple-dude

Hello, 

I discovered a new chess opening. I name it the Banana Opening, It is inspired from the Queens Gambit. 

It goes like this: 

1- E3 

2- D4 

3- C4 

I have never seen it being played before. In addition to that, I conducted a quick research on book chess openings, and even checked out some published novelty openings, and did not find it anywhere.

Any feedback would be appreciated, I am no expert in chess by any means.

This opening has no proper name, but it seems to be played frequently among high players. Magnus Carlson has played this a few times. Any other corresponding moves that are part of the “Banana Opening”?

I thought it would be B pawn, A pawn, knight, A pawn, knight, A pawn

It’s some kind of a reversed tarrash/french most of the times. Played it myself

There is nothing new under the sun

If you think you've discovered a new opening, it falls into either one (or both) of the following:

a.) it's not new

b.) it's bad

You're better off playing known openings.

That's exactly how I invented...scotch gambit.

It started with me looking at the danish gambit and thinking "What if I delay c3 and play Nf3 first. The opponent will probably defend with Nc6, I will try to castle and then play c3. So I follow with Bc4. The problem for me was Nf6, I immediately decided to deal with this knight via e5, but d5 was looking sus. Decided to go with O-O, Nxe4, Re1 and then something should happen. Then, after almost 5 minutes of analysis I realised that I transposed into the scotch gambit Lmao
