New Opening System: the Corona Quarantine

Sort:
capyblanca

Here's a new system intended to keep the king safe from COVID-19! Don't worry about what the other side does; just get your king to quarantine like White does here:

 
The white king has achieved quarantine safely. Note the superior position of the king, surrounded safely by his rooks. Black is clearly vulnerable.

Good point. 4 Kf1 is the TN here happy.png

Also note how white doesn't fall for black's bishop "sacrifice" on move 8, intended to lure the queen away from safety; white ignores it and proceeds with safe development.
