So, after a long period of time, and a lot of procrastinating, I have renewed the opening contest. I am sending this message to every one of the appliees who entered the contest.
LET THE top 10 showdown BEGIN!
(The numbers do not show what I think of the openings... and one of the highest numbered openings is up to be eliminated)
Plus, the prizes have been REVAMPED and are now 2x greater, with spots 6-10 getting a cheer too!
UPDATE: THE BOARD GLITCH HAS BEEN FIXED: AND THE RESULTS ARE OUT! WINNERS, MESSAGE ME FOR YOUR TROPHIES!!!
COMMENT DOWN BELOW WHO YOU THINK WILL WIN!
1. @Lord_Ultron - North-Indian Attack
This wins 1st place! The structure ended afterwards is very nice, but this is probably not a very common move sequence. However, the moves are all good(After the first one, of course)
2. @JqH_415g - C3 French
This wins 2nd! The moves are slightly odd, but the opening leads to a good position, with good development.
3. Same person - Unnamed French: The First Casuality:
This opening didn't appeal to me because of the sideways knight moves, and I felt the other french was shorter and better.
7. Also by person - Reversed Benoni Defense: Needle Countergambit
#4: An insanely interesting gambit, but unfortunately after careful analyzing, this eventually leads to a very bad position after e5 by Black.
8. Also by person - English Opening: Viper Gambit:
Unfortunately, slightly too intricate, I was planning on giving this around place #2, but had a change of heart.
9. @Freerobuxman - Yosef Gambit P.2
I was planning on giving this opening 1st, but decided against it since the position from one of the sub-variations is slightly more losing. However, congrats on 3rd!
ALL REMAINING CONTESTANTS WILL BE GETTING PRIZES!!!
