I am a complete idiot!
The move 3.Bb2 is like the normal move I believe.
However, 3.Nf3 is the The Santa Claus Reindeer Attack
Yeah don't mind me Fin. I am so confused lol.
You can play 3.Nf3 I totally forgot.
Unless your prefer 3.Bb2.
The Santa Claus Opening
Sort:
Santa Claus opening/Tree attack/Modern Variation
Santa Claus Opening/Tree Attack/Classic Variation
Oops! I made it a puzzle! lol

Regarding post 91: Doesn't that fail to Nxe4? I like the idea, but perhaps it should be played a bit later.
Santa Claus Opening/Tree Attack/Naka Variation*
*Naka means centre in Japanese.

Yes, it does.
Scrap 91 then. Here's a new one. Santa Claus Opening/Tree Attack/Classic Variation
An exciting system!

I think I like 3.Bb2 better.
The question is what happens after the following moves.
Here is what I was doing against the move 4...Bb4!
Well since you guys are here what do you guys think?
Check this out.
Yeah I have played both Bd3 and Ne2.
I don't know which move is better.
However, I think both moves have some merit maybe.
I suppose the pawn push d3 could be played as well.
To defend the e4 pawn.
Hmm... How about...

Yes, but I think my set of moves are better for White. But what about Black?
What do you think of this?
Well Finn416 I think it is an interesting idea.
The question would be is the move 5.Nf3 a gambit line?
The move 5.Nf3 doesn't address the threat black has on e4.
Which means after the following moves:
If black castles instead of taking the knight on c3 + e4 pawn than maybe we do have other options for white at that point.
However, the question would be what if black finds this line.
Tree attack?
Well I like the name!
The Christmas Tree Attack!
However, we got to fix the variation though.
Well it is good that you are at least giving out idea's.
We could try and improve on this line for sure.
Which is why I created this forum!
Ok. Let's see...
