The f5 Opening

Another one of the lines of the German Opening

yup

:)

This is me against Chess Titans on Windows 7 on the hardest difficulty level:

did you guy's see white's version of this called the Panda Bear Opening?

I did well here until I blundered a piece:

Some folks on the USCF forums gave some good input about this opening. The thread title is the same on USCF as it is here.

This is not the Fred or Phred or Dumas, This is a new opening I invented. I call it The German. Are the Pirc and King's Indian Defense openings the same? Point proven.

How do the engines play? I don't have any engines or use any engines. It stumps creativity.

So have various engines be the black pieces while you are the white pieces, then start from this position:

...

I'll use this for next week's USCF online tournament...

It's actually called the fred

Mine's the German Opening which is similar to The Fred. You don't say that King's Indian Defense and The Pirc are the same, right?

I was up by 1 point here, but lost on time against IMPOSSIBLE

Also, here is the German against IMPOSSIBLE:

Even IMPOSSIBLE blocked its d-pawn:

This is what happens when white only takes the f5 pawn:

I played my German Opening almost perfect in Round 7 here: http://www.chess.com/live chess/game?id=1178723393

Just played a new variation where white plays 4. d3

Haven't analyzed that line at all and it seems a slight edge for white, but black may be able to eventually hold a draw by applying a lot of preassure on white's king, depending on where white's king decides to reside (center, king's side, or queen's side)

Why are there 2 threads of this opening...

Amusing finish, obviously what you were going for when you threw your extra Rook away.
