What to do if my opponent does silly mowe ?

what the heck is a 'mowe'??

You could guess my mistake not mowe but move now please back to the subject

If you can't beat it, maybe it's not so silly after all.

@OP: A move like 1. b3 is not necessarily silly, although it's certainly not among the common first moves. (I would be more inclined to admit that 1. c3 is silly.) You will get much better at chess if you can figure out what to do when your opponent plays any odd move.

As with any move your opponent makes, you need to determine what his threat is. If your opponent plays 1. b3, he's giving you clues about what his long-term goal is. Can you figure it out from there on your own? (Hint: What piece of his can be developed after 1. b3, that he couldn't develop before?)

In general, if your opponent plays strangely, then respond to any of his concrete threats; otherwise, simply confidently play what you believe to be the best moves.

just wing it...follow basic opening principles and you should be fine.

A silly move is any move Our opponent makes. If We were to make the exact same move in the same position We would characterize it, at worst, as unorthodox.  >:[

just take advantage if it's truly silly. btw, don't be silly

If you were blak andyour opponents first move is a4 your mowe ?

And guys that was an example b3 i forgot it was  lansers attack. I get white openings like f4 , g4 and other

!

The first big step toward losing against unorthodox openings is to dismiss them as silly. 

This is a silly mowe

If your opponent does something silly, play as if he had played the normal line.

You'll end up with an iron grip on the centre and your opponent with a tattered pawn structure and a stray unprotected rook.

Hey quit hijacking the topic helltank.  We are having a serious discussion on the sillyness of lawnmowers.

In the first how did you know it's a silly move? That's something to think about. Maybe that question's a little to deep!

1. b3 is not only characteristic of Larsen's opening, but also the Reti Opening (especially in the Capablanca and NewYork Variations, the Double Fianchetto Opening (see Schiller's Unorthodox Chess Openings-Cardoza Press) and also in systems where White chooses a Black opening to play, perhaps figuring the advantage of move in hand is good enough to hold. 1. b3 was very popular in the 1920's to 1930's and found in several OTB matches at even the GM level. These openings were known as Hypermodern Openings and usually allowed Black to develop a big pawn center to try to undermine later. Think a reversed system is not totally sound? Some lines have become reputable like the English (at times ir is a Sicilian reversed), Bird's Opening (a reversed Dutch Defense) and the King's Indian Attack (played by Fischer very strongly and a staple of alot of IM and GM players. Another opening to look at and see if you can defend against with 1. b3 is essentially a reversed Queen's Indian Defense. All in all, when faced with an unorthodox opening such as 1. b3, simply adhere to sound opening principles and that way, if your opponent makes a mistake, your advantage can be overwhelming. Good luck and remember, even if your next 100 opponents play 1. b3, likely no two games will be the same. Hope this all helps.

I assume that by Silly mowe you mean a Move that is not common. That hints that you learn openings move by move, and you don't learn WHY you make that move. I suggest you to first learn the opening principles (Rapid development, Center, Castle, Connect rooks etc.) and start being able to figure out the best move from those principles yourself. Don't just play an opening, know why you're playing it :)

1. a4?! e5/d5
