That goes without saying.
Proposal: Azaladze Gambit

I just don't understand why you started trying to argue with me about this other than to troll. All of this is entirely based on an engine line that you looked up. If we look up the top engine line for the opening you posted in the beginning, it's probably also a draw, or alternatively a loss for black.
What's the point? Are you trying to say that the Bayonet Attack is a bad opening because of this engine line?

I'm not saying the Bayonet is bad, I'm just saying that it's still drawable.
And admittedly tough to play against.

Before you say something though, I'd like to clarify that I lost all three games in the middlegame, and got only a small disadvantage in the opening.
Any sound opening is drawable... or winnable... or losable. It depends on the players. That's what makes them sound openings. The game might not be decided in the opening. If both players play the opening well, or at least evenly, then it can be decided in the middlegame or endgame. That's normal for a good opening.
The Bayonet Attack is playable for both sides. I never said it was a forced win for white. It's just a good, aggressive option for white.
Stockfish will draw any opening against itself.

We all know the Benoni, and we all know the King's Indian, what happens if we put them together?
The Azaladze Gambit.
The idea is to sacrifice black's c-pawn and attack the newly-created c5 pawn, preventing b4 by a5, then going on the attack using black's active pieces. Black has a strong chance of winning back the pawn, thus the opening is about as much a gambit as the Queen's Gambit is. This opening can transpose into several different openings such as the Benoni, King's Indian, English, and Sicilian, and white has many viable responses to c5, so the opening may require a fair amount of preparation.
Typical development in successful positions for black usually involve:
- A pawn on d6 to control c5 and e5.
- A pawn on a5 to control b4.
- A fianchettoed bishop on g7.
- A knight on c5.
- Kingside castling by black.
The opening is named for IM Shota Azaladze, who employed the opening seven times without a loss. Here is his most notable win using a dangerous kingside pawn storm:
Thoughts and theories on this opening are greatly appreciated. What do you think?
you're prob better off playing something like na6 than a5
Without memorising all the 20-30 move deep engine lines.
