Why didn't black play ...c5?  and what exactly are you attacking?

This is the Queen's pawn game (D02), and has been played many times before.

The American Attack is typically aimed at oil fields, not at the Black King.

Zukertort-Collie Opening.

Blocking in my dark-squared Bishop seems like a waste of moves at the start of a Queen Pawn Game. If I were to fianchetto that Bishop on the Queenside, I would do that after achieving a good center and development; by then, you might already have a better square for the Bishop.

In the amount of time it takes to fianchetto that bishop, Black can play Nf6 and c5 gaining a good portion of center control.



-American Attack-

[1. d4 f5 2. e4 fxe4 3. Nd2]

It is a variation of the Staunton Gambit which is sometimes (rarely) played against the Dutch Defense. I’m not really sure what White’s plan is here but, at first glance, it seems that after Black plays 3...d5 (protecting the pawn on e4), White might be planning to play 4. c4 or 4. f3.

****************************

I would recommend that you learn these opening principles. Although you may have heard them before, you should never underestimate their value.

I. Develop your pieces. This is the most important rule of the opening. ...

II. Don't make too many pawn moves. ...

III. Don't bring your queen out too early. ...

IV. Don't move the same piece twice. ...

V. Castle early. ...

VI. Develop towards the centre. ...

VII. Clear the back rank and connect your rooks.

Knowing these as a beginner will allow you to excel in the opening stage. Always remember these!


Hope this helps! =)

First, every 1.d4 opening is a QP game. Second, u just another noob trying to create an opening. Third I'm gonna call that the garbage attack

Do you think I am dumb?

Sorry to Say you have not invented an opening, simply by a different MOVE order you have ended up in the Coles/Zukertort variation a side line of the Coles, maybe helpful if interested in the setup would be to purchase a book on the Coles Variations.

 

Ok Thanks for the advice

That’s actually not a very strong opening for white. IMBacon is correct.

White lost a lot of tempo, and probably the initiative, by playing that series of moves. But the bigger question:
Do Canadians count as Americans?

I never said it was good
