That’d be a really interesting resource!
I agree. Well, it's here now.

I like how you bolder the opening names. Kinda makes them easier to read

Question. In the PixelByPixel attack theory, do you mean [1...(5,5/4,5/3,5)]? You put 4s instead.
My annotation is so bad!
but you missed that I did the same for the Friedmelon opening... but we can't be perfect!

Doing my best!
it would be sad if we changed infinite set up @CaptainTugwash's idea I think. Then my work would be wasted
@Hitthepin since you invented the HTP attack... why not try 1.N(6,3) (4,4) 2.(3,4) And you'll have your own gambit!
As you'll notice, in Queen's Pawn, there is the line 1...N(6,6) What should we name this? It should be ??? game or we could remove this line altogether.

Well, in normal chess, it is known as the Indian game. Should we pick a different nationality?
Okay, knights game- any other ideas are still welcome!
When I was developing my opening: first of all, my idea was to make flank threats on the Q's left diagonal. The queen will probably move to (-6,12) restricting the hawks movements. A common reply would be C(0,12) removing my queen from the diagonal. Then my queen would move back even farther, threatening a hawk/king fork. They would reply w/ a hawk move. Now the black C is farther away from the action. My queen has reached it's dream location, keeping the black king/troops on a line to prevent flank attacks. My queen may take a couple HPs to store in the bank. If they reply with a H move on move 1, then I grab the center with (4,4). This opening is a tactical skirmish w/ lots of waiting for boards...
This isn't really an opening, but it was an interesting play by @PixelByPixel which I underestimated. The setup started (Pixel playing White):
14.C(237,2)
then later:
20.C(237,9)
This sets up a wall behind my pieces, although I didn't take it as too dangerous because sliders can easily jump across it, or pieces like the guard can move onto it and still be protected.
But later Pixel plays:
34.Q(5,7)#
which I didn't see, and so I lost.😟
So that's the idea behind C(11,2)?
I think C(11,2) might be a good way to develop the Chancellor. But like in normal chess, it's usually not a good idea to bring out the queen or chancellor out early. It has high value, so can't be used for exchanges. Pixel's play was good, but I think it was helped by some inaccurate play by me. I captured a lot of pawns, and was thinking too much about more offensive attacks - and overlooked his ploy.

The issue with the chancellors is that, like the rooks, they don’t truly come into power until the late middlegame/endgame. And, unfortunately, not a lot of infinite plane games have made it to the endgame. :(
