What do you think of this opening?

This is one opening that I use frequently in Live Chess.I know it is a bit weird,but still it manages to give fair results in Blitz and Bullet games

What do you think of this opening?

What do you do against the 3.e4

I would play h6

Some other variations of this

This is the most common way players try to refute this opening, however it is very easy to defend too.

I would have played Qg6 for 4.Bd3

The ultimate aim is to attack the castled king. I would have possibly played f5 ,the queen positioning is important.And further I said that this is for bullet and 3 min blitz only,opponent does not have much time to think and this opening has an element of surprise,errors are bound to happen,when sometimes they dont,you r helpless but still it mostly works.

Hi w_Chinmay73--this variation reminds me of lines like 1. e4 e5 2. Qh5 that are wonderful against novices and mediocre against better players, but the psychology of thinking the move is "terrible" leads them to try too hard for a refutation.  Black's queen on f6 is just misplaced and a target for so many minor pieces; the g8 knight definitely belongs there instead, unless it of course gets removed in a situation like 1. d4 Nf6 2. Bg5 e6 3. Bxf6.  In many of these example games your opponents are too reactionary with Bg5 and other knee-jerk moves that leave their pieces out on a limb.  When I notice the queen missing from d8, what stands out as best is something like 1. d4 e6 2. Nf3 Qf6 3. Nc3.  The knight will either find a happy home on e4/b5 or support a center pawn push, and if you respond 3...d5 then 4. e4 is embarrassing anyhow since you've lost d5 control.  In fact that position is very much a French Classical (1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 Nf6) with your poor g8 knight wondering why its own queen is in its way.  So this is not a weak move to the "black to play and lose" extent, but against natural minor piece development it'll ultimately waste time and the queen is liable to just find her way back home.

I think its a crap opening

1. d4 e6 2. Nf3 Qf6 3. e4 h6 4. Bd3 Qg6 5. O-O, now what?

5...b6 6. e5 Qh5 (6...Qg4 7. h3 Qh5 is also possible) 7. Be4 Nc6 8. Nc3 Bb7 9. Ne2 threatening to trap the queen. 9...f5 10. exf6 Qf7 (10...Nxf6 11. Nf4 10...Qg4 Ng3 11. Nxf6 h3) 11. Nf4 O-O-O 12. Ng6 I don't trust Black's compensation.

He can't play 9.Ne5, because it already is checkmate on the next move--9...Qg2checkmate:)

Yes, for 3min. or less chess, almost any opening is fine at the rating levels you play. In longer chess time-controls it would be very comfortable to play against openings where black's queen comes out early and then spends a lot of time to find a safe place afterwards. It's easier to play chess, in my view, if I have an early target to plan my moves against:)

Yup,I never use this in Online Chess Games.

I tried 2. Qh5 against a 2100 but it didnt work, but that was not because of the opening, but rather that I was not focusing any at all

just keep ahead in time in 1, 2-1 or 3 minute blitz.   Does it matter if the openings are sound...not really, as long as you are comfortable in the resulting positions and your opponent has spend a long time working out lines.

For longer games, I normally play slightly different variations.
