Someone on here made me realize that i get tunnel vision alot in chess, and now im winning more matches. What do you guys think of this opening, im particularly proud because i backed this guys queen up into a corner with pawns and then sacraficed my pawn for queen, to my rook. I love this style opening. It seems to murder early queen and bishop starters, so long as im careful and dont blunder, but what are some ways i can improve it? https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/live/57653365481?tab=review

Here is a better examlpe of my opening, where the player did not leave early. https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/live/57652785951?tab=review What i do is keep working toward this position waiting for the opponent to blunder. There is alot the computer does not like here, so there should be alot to discuss. Normally i move the pawns before the knights to pressure b5 and g5, but i felt i had to stop the early queen with the knights.

Nice, man. Great way to get rid of the queen. I like how at one point in the game, it says that every move you did was perfect or really good. Anyway, I'm sure you would be best a lot of people using this method

Thanks, it really does, but i have to react based on what they do, if i see them go for that queen opening the knights have to go out.

The two games you linked have completely different openings. In the first one white opens with 1. e3, in the second with 1. e4.
