my friend once came up with this opening where if you played white, you move all of your pawns on file b to g to the 3rd rank, kind of like the pawn defense that evanyz posted.  Anyways, after all the pawn moves are made, you develop the knights to a3 and h3.  Then you push whichever pawn you feel like pushing to the fourth rank to open up the position.  

Can't see opening the position being a good idea when only your opponent has pieces out and your king is in the middle.

Seems like the knights would be better developed to the center, and what about your bishops?

1.h3 2.g4 3.Nf3 4.Bg2 5.O-O and then maybe c4 (d4) Nc3 the move order may vary...I call this "The M System"

Probably better for blitz...

When I started in chess I played e4 d3 and f3 because it looked like a pyramid :) And then Be3

Call it "the Pyramid attack"

"Pyramid Scheme" would be catchier.

Well, my friend usually pushes random pawns so that the bishop can come out.  I think.  It's been a while since I played my friend.  He told me he plays the opening every single time.  Apparently, he's rated 995, but he's only nine.

One month ago I prepared for the Birds stonewall openening. My friend and I invented a new setup for Black: 1. f4 e6 2. Nf3 C5 3. d3 Nf6 4. d4 b6 5. Bd3 Bb7 and Black plays Ne4 f5 Be7 or Bd6 and sometimes d5. Black Can also try the Na6-c7-E8-f6 maneovre. The opening doesn't have a name so far.

Avatar of chesshole

those aren't Come at me Bro Variations.  Come at Me Bro Variation has a specific pawn chain plus king position.

Yeah i one that i have never lost with .....

I created one at another site and spread like wild fire. It was corny but a pain in the ......  Problem was i had to find a way to counter it and counter the counter. They started to use it on me and force me to find a way to beat my own corny opening.  It took me a month of working out some details and it had some major flaws it but it was good for a surprise for a player not expecting it. Once the surprise value was gone you would have to work you way out of a trick situation.

Would i try to work on creating another opening ..... no. Unless something just popped into my head.
