I played a game recently and won in six moves. I have tryed to look for the opening name but I have not been able to find a name past the first move of each color.

If no name exist, perhaps we could call it the Davenport variation to whateveer name is give to first moves.

It is a delayed vs of King's Gambit stuffed up!

A delayed version of the kings gambit, even though white did not play e4.

I don't care what you call it, that game was hilarious!!! I am still cracking up! If I were you I would study up on some opening principals before moving into the names.


 Im glad you enjoyed it, but I should point out I was the winner. I knew exactly what to look for to pull off that checkmate.

White simply blundered half of his moves. Wouldn't call this an opening.

This is  a premiere example of why you should try out your new opening theory before playing it in a game.

The first appearance of 1.Nc3 in tournament chess appears to be in the game between the loser of the "Immortal Game," Kieseritsky, who commanded the white army, and the Frenchman, Desloges, who handled the black side, in a game played in 1847.

 


Unless I am mistaken, the Immortal Game was played by Adolf Anderssen and Lionel Kieseritzky in 1851 and it began 1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4

 I believe that is the kings gambit.
