Reverse Ruy López
Make your own opening

Aronian just dropped this new gambit at his first round Grand Swiss 2023 game:
Epic.
Very cool, and good analysis!

I call mine the edge! 1E 2D 3G 4E again. It's not a great one by any means, but at least it's original and confused my 1st 2 opponents. It never said to make a USEFUL or even halfway decent one. Take it for what it is. opening

What is the point of c4?
Those main purpose why I thought of the frying pan variation is it catches opponents off guard without being bad, and its also just funny. One of the main points, is if they take our d4 pawn, we play Nf3, and take back with our knight later.
I was thinking about actually playing this in an upcoming competition in my local chess club, but I realized none of our 12 MEMBERS even play the botvinnik carls.

Closed Center Game
Very complex position, usually results in very quick trades (as you can see in the continuation, 8 captures in a row).
