I have a question about making a chess opening....

I recently was looking on the opening explorer and accidentally made a chess opening. The corresponding moves go 1. E4 E5 2. G4. I put it to good use that i can bring out my bishop and let me queen be active to protect those pawns, but I was also wondering if you can somehow make that an opening/variation? The Chess.com explorer calls it the King's Pawn Opening. If I were to name it, I would call it the Side Claw Attack or the Queens Crown since it makes a formation around the Kingside and lets the Queen be active as well as the bishop. If you could please input this into the opening explorer, that would be great! -Chess.com fan QuestionMarkOnTheDot

The thing is, chess openings are not named so easily. They are usually named after chess player names who have popularized it, played it at a high level many times, or published an analysis of it. Do one of these and become a titled player to have a chance.

Great idea.

Why don't you post say 10 games against a high rate opponent where you win with this opening.

Then we will all support you
