The Parham System completely sucks and should never be played. Please for the safety and sanity of humanity stay away from this stupid opening.

2Qh5 might be an ok move but it suffers from a lot of drawbacks,

1 you risk not developing other pieces,

2 you risk getting dragged around by black developing pieces

3 the queen is strong not just as attacker but as defender, having no points of interest (developed pieces) to defend and technically nothing it can attack on its own make her useless, powerful but not able to be sacrificed lightly especially early on.

4 moving twice or even three times with a piece in opening is not a good idea, gives you structural damage later on, bad pawns structure, no developed pieces

5 black getting white bishop up and protecting the f7 pawn kinda blocks a lot of play for white

not unplayable, just at beginner level i would never recomend it. dont confuse winning games with 4 moves or under 10 moves with chess improvement, if you want to enjoy chess spend time better by thinking about it and all the pieces.

that being said the matrix system im not familiar with, maybe its good, then again i dont think the advanced chess computers use it so maybe not the most efficient system.

I heard somebody calculated the number of possible unique chess games a number of years ago (64 squares and 16 pieces per side yields a lot of possibilities even within the constraints of legal moves), and the number of possible chess games was greater than all the known stars in all the know galaxies at the time....astronomical...lol. If you look at data bases with hundreds of thousands of games in them, you are usually "out of the book" after 10 moves or so...but many games go 50 to 80 moves, or more.

Parham's been good at chess, by his math is very suspect considering it ignores not only how factorials work but also order of operations. 2!=2, so 2+2 = 4, all good so far. However, 3! = 6, so even if his permutations/Cartesian plane snake oil "matrix chess" system were legit, it would equal 18. It's something he goes on about to confuse people to encourage them to buy his lessons based on their ignorance, then he teaches them poorly contrasted to stronger master-level players that have freely available youtube videos, twitch streams, etc. His only goal is to deliver the fastest possible checkmate while neglecting other paramount fundamentals like development order, opening theory, etc., including neglecting the vitality of the endgame.
