I invented it today. I call it the humiliation opening. I beat a 1900 and a 2000 with it. (I am 1800...and 1824 Fide rating)

Yeah I agree. The endgame is pretty equal with chances for both sides.

The opening is e4...Ke2....Qe1...then Kd1.....switching the monarchs...I swear I have beaten high rated players with it. Is it a real existing opening with a name??? Can someone tell me? Or did I invent the humiliation opening.

No offence man but it may have been luck that u beat those higher players because that sounds like the worst opening possible. U stop the possibility of castling and don't even challenge for the centre it sounds like u should come up with a new opening.

It doesn't work nearly as well for Black.

I would still play it as Black and if the Queen moves out, I play normal chess. Jokes on them happy.png

You understimate the power of.......the dark side. But in all seriousness, it gives you a massive psychological edge AND confuses the opponent.  I just beat a 2100 with it who who was pissed.  AND I have won about 70% of my games with it, as white or black.

Also, no offense, but I am 1824 uscf and 1800 blitz.......you are barely 1300, which is great of course, just saying.  Who agrees?

I think this is an example of openings that are good only because your opponent is unfamiliar with it? Those who are prepared for it can probably find some lines and counters to it. But I wouldn't know, I'm a noob.

He's also using it in 3 minute blitz games. It's a surprise tactic that may work the first time, but will probably come unstuck in any rematches or longer time controls.

Are you the one who posted a game where you moved your king first and then went on to win the game? Because that game was a treasure!

I'm similar strength as you not as high player as you've been bitting , like you said 21 hundred or so . Anyway I like 3 mins as well I dare you to challenge me with this opening and win easily.

Don't just run your mouth , I bet you I kick your azz easily with this opening and I'm not even near 21 hundred player, so should be easy for you.

3|0 mins best out of 3
