Is the opening only defined by black's response?

I am using this opening which there is plenty more to come than this. Since openings are only 3 moves I am wondering if there is a name for this so I may research? 

It is almost regardless what black does in their opening though it does seem to summon the sicilian opening.

If I research the sicilian, isn't it mostly for a black win?

I am looking for masters who played it with white.

i was just browsing the forums and i clicked through your game... you missed a tactic on move 21 i believe (if ur playing white).   ...20. h6 I believe is a mistake... it results in you busting open the opponents position and your trading a bishop for 3 pawns... (i love trading minor pieces for lots of pawns... easy endgames). After 21. Bxh6... if gxh6 Qxh6 Rg7 <---forced (otherwise checkmate by QH8 and Rh7---< then Qxf3.... now that your opponents king is stuck without cover of pawns, feel free to attack attack attack :). (or trade trade trade and get an extra 3 passed pawn endgame vs minor piece <usually easy>)

otherwise it was a nice game <and i did see that u did get the bishop sack in there... i think it would have been a little stronger at move 21.>

there's a reason why this "opening" of yours is original. it is too passive, too weak, and gives black too many chances. you do not want to play like that, what does d3 do? defends e4. what does Be3 do? the square is maybe fine for the bishop but you already decided its fate too early. 

develop your knights before bishops, therefore Nf3 or Nc3 should be better.

if your opponent does e5 for central equality, never do d3. after Nf6 your opponent will be preparing d5 and then what? if your opponent does the sicilian then its worse since you should always trade the d pawn for the c pawn.

now if its french then we're talking different here. d3 is actually useful against it in protecting your central e4 point followed by a KIA set-up.

Thank you for the game feedback!

D3 opens up for the bishop to get to e3. It is the critical move to protect the king once pawn f4 is played till you bring the king's knight up to g3. I can then usually slip that pawn to f5 and have extra sacrificial power in their territory that they are forced to consider. The pawn must go first to f4 before knight f3. Knight c3 is unimportant till after castling unless to protect the rook from their dark bishop at g7.

If they get their pawn to d5, they will want to take it to d4 to attack the knight c3 and bishop e3. I usually back them off, trade off, or send the knight on a distraction run. 

The light bishop usually gets attacked on e2 by their white bishop after they try and pin my knight if they get it thru first. The queen can piggy back either bishop for a king side, diagonal queen side attack. I can maintain my power ahead of my king side if they challenge a bishop trade.

As for passive, I don't want them to know what I know till it is too late. I set up everything to look like nothing and then strike out everything into position to find a forced mate. The whole point is to send all my power to their G & H file while blocking all their major pieces from defending. F pawn is a big help once it hits the 5th rank. 

I am still developing this and I stick with it because my results have been good. Even against HIARCS. It is something opponents haven't seen and it wears their mind down. They waste time too. If I can't complete the opening I can usually baby step for center control. It throws off most of their usual opening tactics. I think this is important too.

It has it's risks, or bait for their preemptive strike that lacks power.
