tuna fish can opening

This opening (for white) I am testing follows the next standard moves:

1.d4Nf6

 
 

 

I think this is a correct defense for black, bring out is queen bishop, amd allow for castling in both sides. Other variations are possible. 

 

Creates great lines for bishop attack or even king sided pawn advance combined for rook attack on king. I prefer, when possible, to switch  queen´s rook with queen´s bishop in order to protect my black square pawns (at cost of some moves) giving more insight for forced attack on king side.

There are some satisfafying variations to respond for a c line opening forced by c black pawn (here you´ll need to fiancheto your queen bishop) ;

or to respond for a queen sided castle for black (here you´ll need to protect c2-h7 diagonal  with queen also favoring a frontal position to castled king , also protect line 2 with rook to f2)

Simetric opening for black depends on white. I Like to call it the Papua New Guinea defense. If this is not new opening please let me know the original names and creators!!

Check out my games to give a better look.

As a Stonewall it's missing d4. I'd call it a flavour of Bird's Opening.

 Yes man, I am reading about it know. It perfectly matches my general strategy and conclusions... very nice!

For tuna, go for portuguese cans!

"Traditionally, chess computers have been vulnerable to the Stonewall because the positions are usually without clear tactical lines"

 

this is why is very  easy for me to win against weak programs like chess titans !!

I'm going to do some research on the Tuna fish can opening. I never even knew that it existed!

It is even better with onions.

This is my favorite development for black counter attack. It is necessary for white to full develop it´s pieces, instead of the fastest castle at move 7.

 

 

 

 

 

Here I will castle king, protect with Rook to f2 prepare a surprise attack on black´s queen side! Or maybe I will castle queen side and attack queen side, almost turning it to a hypermodern variation!

I remember playing this  possible development, enhancing the positional strengh of my bishop on white squares, and relative weakness of black king and black´s queen side pawns. My King also needs to go to h1, anyaway! I am studying the move ... Nxd4

I made a blunder, great thing. you can also put the games where I have mated in less than 25 moves with this opening. So I don´t have the trouble!

 

oK, here is a short stat: 

last 50 games: WHite 33W 0D 17L . no draws

 

Now for comparation I go here TO SEE how many opening can be superior  : http://homepage.ntlworld.com/adam.bozon/stats.htm

 

The only truth I know is this: develop and play your own game, don´t get caught in the other tricks. The more used, more knowed, more explored, more tendency to go to the real mean value...

Ok, I am getting bored with pawn and knight/ bishop endgames. So now I bring out queen´s bishop . This entertains black defense and gives insight to more unpredictable endgames.

 

This extra move adds nothing but an exchange of bishops. Yet it somehow prevents the black queen´s castle (because, now, white can protect and even atack f7 pawn advance, and because, any how, white queen´s castle is easened, if black decides to frighten the adventurous bishop with pawn advancing). 

Managing the queen´s versatility on the 2nd file(liberating the space from obstacules)  can prevent some annoying explorations of f2 pawn´s weakness and prepare the offensive, as usual , using brute force towards black king!

In conclusion, I might say that, as theorethical recommendend, it is much better to bring out the bishop, even if it adds nothing from a tactical perspective.
