Random Opening Theory Forum
.. I think, had you said, it has to be, about 'randomness', in general, {ie. in any number, of Life's situations}; It would've made, for a much more interesting topic ; Of which, New info. & personal experiences, are documented and told ; *Everyday ! .. Even every minute ! o:
* Already, is and has been daily addressed, in my own, & other peoples' threads, 'btw'.
For openings theory I prefer to dive into books, there are plenty I love coming back to, especially Chess Openings: Theory And Practice by Horowitz] and d4 explanation here is also an amazing one.
That book is not translated to my language.
Yes, I am afraid that English will be required for a lot of theory books, especially the new ones, since the translations are so rare these days, unlike a decade ago.
But it's a good practice exercise too.
I think that Modern Chess Openings could have a turkish version, it's a famous and rather old book, but I found it very useful. Authors are Walter Korn and Richard Griffith. It is from 1911, even with new editions, expect, that you would be learning classic chess openings, which doesn't hurt of course.
Using the generator of random integers

one can easily generate random openings for this discussion.
@Yigor how can I generate random openings with a random "NUMBER" generator ?
U should enumerate legal moves by integers in a certain order. Let's say, in the initial position, a3 as 1, b3 as 2, ..., h4 as 16, Na3 as 17, ..., Nh3 as 20. Then U launch the program to generate a random integer between 1 and 20, U make the corresponding move and so on.
thanks.
Okay, I just launched the program to generate 2 random integers from 1 to 20. It gave me 18 and 1. It corresponds to 1. Nc3 a6 in my enumeration. So we should discuss the following opening:
Actually, there are 2 master games starting with this opening 1. Nc3 a6 :

Please translate the thread title for us non english readers. Thank YOU.
The joke of the day ?!? The name of your avatar is more complicated than the title of this thread.
Ok. The idea of 1...a6 is playing 2...b5 so white should play 2.a4 to prevent this. I think we contributed the opening theory.

Yes, 1...a6 is actually a meaningful move here, it blocks b5 for the white knight. ChessOk database suggests 2. d4, 2. e4, 2. Nf3 or 2. g3 to continue with.
