its acttually been rlly good, since most people DONT know how to play against it. for example, i play this really offbeat line against the "mainline"
Your experience with 1.b3
Sort:
Thanks. And as black against 1.b3? Is this listed as “uncommon opening” in the second graphic?

I didn’t know Nh3. I follow a book published in Chessable. Why do you play Nh3? Just to deviate early?

i dont follow a book, i just play what looks interesting. nh3 has ideas of get fxe5 and O-O to open f-file and stop black from castling, after fx fx the knight could later on jump to g5, etc.
Sorry, I thought it was a PM and I started talking about my story and not answering your question in the forum

Interesting that you don’t follow a book. Do you prepare with a database?
1.b3 allows a lot of tactics, can get very messy positions. Better to be well prepared to cash if the opponent get wrong.

no, i just play whatever looks good, and the double check with engines after the game. if the engine eval isnt worse tthan -1, and the position is interesting, and theres no obvious refutation, im down to do it.

Funny way to build up a repertoire. If I see your repertoire it is working well. And you will certainly find new ideas in every opening, deviating quite early in the game.

1.b3 is very annoying, so I make it very annoying for white as well. If I have to suffer then they have to suffer.

to me, it's boring. And I don't think people who play b3 want a boring game. So I make it boring.

thats a good point, although its not that bad form the white side, you get plenty of space

Honestly, I hate b3, BC there aren't any gambits and stuff. It's like playing against the Colle or London

thats because white's play is mroe dynamic, and black usually has to respond to what white's doing, so its not something you'd enjoy playing as black.

exactly. But I prefer b4
Did you tried already 1.b3? If yes, only for blitz and rapid or also for longer games? And what do you think about this opening? I mean in terms of results / your motivation to play it.
