Wait... do the weird openings have to be playable?


They are completely playable


Yes, but for the Ware Opening, Crab Variation, you would require you're opponent to blunder to at least equalize.


Incidentally, the Nimzo-Larsen Attack is "weird" and yet completely sound, although White can't expect to achieve an advantage in every single line.


 Nimzo-Larsen Attack: Couldn't this opening just transpose to other openings...it seems very flexible.

Sorry for those that read my comments that I didn't add the letters and numbers, because I saw these openings before, but I forgot their numbers. Most of them are pushing the a and h pawns.

I wonder how many of us Garry Kasparov could beat using this opening...


maybe Bobby Fisher can beat like everyone that has a rating less then 2000 using that attack and the Parlem attack.
