Thar System games


A game between 2 600-rated players isn't a suitable proof of concept. Your "invention" has 2 names already. Choose between calling it the Tortoise Opening or the Whale variation of the English opening.

Your opponent was winning until they blundered. The opening had nothing to do with the result.
But if you like playing it then enjoy.

#1, Thar opening is not good, because when you developed your bishop,it blocks the D pawn and slow down your development.

Ive never heard such a good reason to play the Thar System before

Just Clearly state that you like it or not
Nobody likes it, except you. It's a bad opening. Really, really bad. Bongcloud-level bad.
You should learn some basic stuff like "opening principles" before you attempt to invent a new opening.
Of course, openings barely matter, especially at very low ratings.

So honestly its terrible. But I think if you want to try and play this better you should play 6. Bc2 as 6.Be2 is just a waste of tempo, but at least 6. Bc2 controls the center better, and can be argued its not an entire waste of tempo.

truth is play whatever you want. i didn't do the greatest with it and had to play it as black. but hopefully i did it some justice. although i would recommend learning some opening principles and fundamentals over everything else regardless if you want to keep playing it or not. just have fun
