Creating my own opening?

I’ve created my own Gambit against the english with (1.c4 e5 2.Nc3 b5) and I have played 2 games and won both, but it’s trash if your opponent knows the theory.

An idea is playing tactics like g3 Bg2 against the Ruy Lopez/Italian. Also you can go for something rare like d4 c4 Nc3 Be2 Qc2 and O-O-O, that probably doesn’t have a name

Do you mean g6 & Bg7?

Petrov Defense: Spanish Variation, is it sound or unsound? I want an answer as to why or why not.

or... you could dig into amateur theory for the rarest, but highest performing openings.

 

kind of hard to create something ENTIRELY NEW after a few hundred years and million games of chess. stuff's happened BY ACCIDENT.

 

i'm using amateur games to dig up every single trap etc. in REAL games and finding that it's actually EASY to get to +2 in under 15 moves more often than not if you AREN'T in something like already drawish 28 billion games petroff defense.

 

the "ice queen" variation i just cobbled is 70% winning by move 4 and ends in whole number plusses as VERIFIED by stockfish... many of whose choices perform TERRIBLY over the board

I have proof that there is yet room for creativity!

 

You have posted one of the most highly-regarded, extensively studied, dissected and analyzed openings in the history of chess.

i've "created" my own opening studying other amateur's games and building theory around the moves that perform best at 1600-2000. i call my first "book" the ice queen. the theory STARTS at 63:42 on move 4 and only goes up from there with only about 3% of the theory equal to favoring black by no more than a pawn while MOST lines end up +5 or more with only a couple 3s.

 

i might not have created the moves, but i have organized them into a best moves only book over a couple weeks, so i'll call it mine... especially as i have the only book in existence.

Nice!

My gambit that I think I've invented.

Most lines end up with +1,5 for white ,but I might be tricky.

I call it "Silesian Gambit"

i created my own gambit and even beat a 1704 with it in 17 moves at 1559! i am NOT liking 1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Nf6 3.Nc3 at all. qxd5 is just WRONG on so many levels in my world. i QUIT the qxd5 scandinavian in the 90s when i learned the Nf6 marshall is more my attacking style, so i just pushed my e pawn to open lines up. trying to steer it into the old scandinavian gambit with 3...c6 or icelandic with 3...e6 is not sound. my "opening" even less so, but i just wanted to stop by and share my "can opener attack" in the scandinavian modern.

 

1. e4 d5 2. exd5 Nf6 3. Nc3 e5? (+1.4 I just didn't want to take on d5) 4. Bb5+ Nbd7 5. Bxd7+ Bxd7 6. Nge2 Bd6 7. O-O e4 8. h3 Ng4?? 
(the +5.3 "can opener attack") 9. hxg4 Qh4 10. Ng3 Bxg4 11. Qe1 O-O 12. Qxe4 Rfe8 13. Qc4 Bxg3 14. fxg3 Qxg3 15. d3 Bh3 16. Rf2 Re1+ 17. Rf1 Qxg2# 

 

forget the numbers! if it works, it ain't losing. i won't ever play it again after seeing just how bad it is

 

with the "gambit" listed above, look out for 4.dxe5 dxe4? 5.Qxd1 Kxd1. i love wrecking castles and actually BEAT chessmaster tal with e4/d4 against e5/d5 that way when it suggested the line when i was trying to create a book. i find that stealing castling rights is worth sacking a minor piece if one has enough pieces in play to keep chasing the king and looking for tactics

Hey great work and great advice! grin.png

1.e4 2.d3 3.nc6 4.g6 5.bg7 6.bg6

I think this opening is good(If black plays d5, exchange)

SpaceGod864

This gambit is barely dubious
