When I was a youngster, like 6 years ago, I was a big fan of both the Italian and Scotch opening. But I wasn't very booked up, so I tried to put the concepts that I liked into a new opening, which I never really gave it a name. I tried it out a couple of times, and became my main opening for at least, 3 years. When I was 13, I became more booked up and until today, I play regular openings. Anyways, this system always was present in my heart, and in fact, I used it this last years as a surprise weapon. Below there's the analysis that I made for you guys.

I also developed a probably unsound gambit against 3. ... e6.

I also plan to make a video about this opening on my youtube channel: www.youtube.com/AjedrezEnEspanol (in spanish)

I hope you could get something out of this discussion. Please leave a comment if you enjoyed it!

W.R.T the gambit there are three logical responses:

Nxg4 (free pawn)

g5 (forcing the bishop to move)

h5 (Counter gambit, either way - you lose the pawn)

Personally though - wouldn't this allow better use of the bishop?

However as this opening is nameless - and it is a scotch type opening I crown this:

1. d4 d5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. Bf4 e6 4. g4 Nxg4 5. e4 dxe4 6. Qxg4 e5! and White doesn't have much.

I analyzed this position before, and concluded that Qe2 is the move.
