dude if you learn the lines to this, it will work
i mean if i played against it i would be confused as hell
The Samurai Opening?
Sort:
The opening is more accurately named after the French player Marcel Desprez. Like a number of other rare openings, 1.h4 has some alternate names such as "Kadas Opening", "Anti-Borg Opening", "Samurai Opening", and "Reagan's Attack". Gabor Kadas is a Hungarian player.
Like 1.a4, the Ware Opening, 1.h4 is an irrelevant pawn move which does nothing in the fight over central space, and does very little for development. The only piece released is the rook, and this piece is usually not developed by moving it to h3. In addition, 1.h4 weakens White's kingside. For all of these reasons, 1.h4 is among the rarest of the twenty possible first moves for White.

Thanks all. . . didn't continue with g3, then I wonder what? Makes me wonder what purpose h4 is good for? just to confuse perhaps? The reason I began to search it, was a player used it against me and yep, it confused the heck outta me. . . forgot how the game ended. I tried it against a computer at 1600, and it 'scalped' me. lol
Is this a good opening? White: h4, then whatever black does, g3, then next white move is a fianchetto with bg2 then e2. . . reading somewhere this is called the Samurai opening.
Be gentle, I'm new.
