I'm trying to know what's useful from this opening  (h3), I think it's only waste of time Wink,hmmmmmm it's bad move anyone agree with me ? allowing in effect Black to play the White pieces with the only caution being to avoid playing any opening system which allows white to make use of the protection of g4 afforded by 1.h3..I see that :) and maybe am wrong  . Can anyone help me by answering on these questions ?

what does it call ?

is there anyone played it before, at the opening of course ?

does it lead for somthing I don't know it ?

what about a4 ,h3 or h4 are these moves like a3 ?

Well...1.h3 is a playable opening move, but mainly because, like you said, it's basically letting your opponent play as White and you as Black; with maybe a slight bit of an edge thanks to the guarding of the g4 square preventing moves such as Bg4 (though Black will likely steer the game into an opening where the bishop is developed to a square other than g4). So it won't hurt White's position per se, but it wastes the first-move advantage as White (though the advantage only becomes noticeable at high levels of play, and it's pretty small anyway, so that's not very important I guess).

1.a3 pretty much follows the same lines as 1.h3; but 1.h4 and 1.a4 might be a bit poorer as they slightly mess up the pawn structure.

Hmmm... As white, I've played 1.a3. It's really nice for when you don't feel like playing white.

As for h3, I haven't played it. I feel it's played for the same reasons as a3, but the play has subtle differences.

As for 1.a4 and 1.h4, I would be really interested in playing one of these. Consider the following...

but I think h4 more beautiful position than the first one because at the second position white have more controling of space anyway thanks for all

Yeah, I looked at my position of h4, and I'm not sure that will ever happen. It'd be extremely tough to get that position because you would  be a tempo down in the center, and it would be hard to control it so well.

One problem with trying to lose a tempo by a3/h3 is that you may end up in a position where black would have played a5/h5 in one go a lose the tempo completely.
