Invinted a new opening, how do i get it named after me

Hi everyone,

 

Recently I’ve been thinking a lot about openings. I used to always play the Queen’s Gambit as white because of its popularity. I thought that by sacrificing my queen in the opening I would be able to gain a strong positional advantage, but in the end I end up losing nearly every time. So I wanted to try a new opening, which would hopefully work better than the Queen’s Gambit. I considered other popular openings such as the Eagle Attack (http://www.chess.com/forum/view/fun-with-chess/the-american-defense---eagle-attack-variation), the Knight Fianchetto (http://www.chess.com/forum/view/general/may-i-present-the-knight-fianchetto) and the George Lopez (or something like that), but they all seemed too commonplace, especially the first two. So I decided that I had to invent my own opening to suit my personal style. After analyzing some of the games played by my favorite chess player Napoleon Bonaparte, I incorporated some of the ideas involved in his games into this opening that I created:

 


So far, I’ve only had a few chances to test out this opening in actual games. In the games I played I still lost more than I won, but my overall record was much better than when I used the Queen’s Gambit. So I concluded that I lost so much because I’m still not a very good chess player overall, not because the opening is bad. In fact, the opening seems to work quite well. Every time I play it, my opponent hesitates for a second or two before making his second move, giving me a slight advantage in time. And one of my opponents even thought that I was a titled player for coming up with such an innovative and effective opening. After our game (which I lost because of blunders in the middlegame and endgame), my opponent said “gg lol,” to which I replied, “Thank you for your generous compliment! But I have to admit that at the moment I am not worthy of the title of GG. I am still a beginner, and there are many aspects of my game that I still need to improve.” However, I believe the fact that I was able to come up with this opening entirely by myself shows that I actually have great talent in chess. If I continue working hard, then I’m sure that in a few years I will rise through the ranks and become a true GG.

 

Now, as I continue to test my opening in actual games, I am starting to worry that some of my opponents will realize what a fantastic opening it is, and claim it for themselves. I need to make sure that when this opening eventually goes down in the books as one of the greatest openings of all time -, yes, ONE OF THE GREATEST OPENINGS OF ALL TIME, people will know that I was the one who first thought of it. So do any of you out there know how I can get this opening named after myself as soon as possible? What do I need to do?

 

Thank you very much!

@macer75

Thanks for posting that, I almost cried laughing! 

I fear your post may go over the heads of many though...

Dude that's the Bongcloud and it's banned from tournament play since it's basically a forced win for white, where exactly have you been the last few years?

Look through this analysis. Sorry to burst your bubble, but that opening is terrible.

condude2

And btw theoreticalboy, the Bongcloud loses by force.

ChessSoldier

I hate to be the one to point this out, but 2. Ke2 is an illegal move.  It leaves your king attacked by a queen, bishop, and knight.  You're only allowed to have your king attacked by two or four of your own pieces, but not three.  Understand?

IpswichMatt

That's told you, theoreticalboy. Not so theoretical now, are you? 

Oh no.

Glad you enjoyed it :)

@macer75

I did, it was world class

@baldheadedbear

Is that why it's been banned? Because it wins by force?

Oh no! It looks like this guy named Bongcloud (btw, what a horrible name!) has already claimed this opening as his own invention. I must have played the opening against him sometime, and he realized how amazing it is, and published it under his own name! What should I do now? Does anyone have any suggestions?

But on the bright side, I'm happy that people have already recognized how powerful the opening is. Although my name might not go down in history because of that imposter Bongcloud, it feel great to know that I have made a significant contribution to the magnificient game of chess.

Ohh god, not this again...

Dude, I don't know who you are, but don't even bother trying to take away King Lenny's staggering contribution to chess opening theory.  We all know 2. Ke2 is the Bongcloud, and that's that.

Ok the goal must be:

100 pages of comments on this.

6 months to argue it.

Over 300 members visit this thread.

20 games + of him showing how he won with it.

2 titled players leaving comments on it.

1 Insult per day after 50 comments.

That was the minimum requirements for the thread on the Daeth Opening.

MatchStickKing

Even Daeths piece of turd opening was better than this, it at least had the chance of doing something in the future!

royalbishop

Funny! I won using Daeth Opening.

So will keep it in those rare moments when i have no clue and i mean no clue what to play against my opponent.

I just tried out your opening macer75,the game was fun.  I've posted the game with a little analysis.  I wish i'd played it in a rated game.  But maybe I only won because of my opponent's blunders.  I'll test out this opening more tomorrow, it late here.
