How to have a new chess opening line named after you...

Hi everyone. So I was wondering how to get an opening line named after you. This line has been played a bit in a few master games but has no name for it. While doing detailed analysis for my Sicilian opening, I discovered it and I have made some very nice ideas for it. Who do I have to apply to so I can get my name to that variation? And would I need to become a very strong player, or write books on that line? 

If you have any information, please let me know. 

Thank you. 

PS: This question is really not as a joke and I would love to find out, because I am very happy with this discovery I have made. 

The name given to an opening is not always that of the first player to adopt it; often an opening is named for the player who was one of the first to popularise it or to publish analysis of it.

What post 2 says is accurate, and no chess.com pee-on is going to get anything named after them, and I would bet good money if your line is a line in the Sicilian for Black that you aren't playing the best moves, or even good moves, for White!

I will also add that I tried to do the same thing earlier, like 25 years ago. Not even attempt publishing. Simply come up with my own novelty. In today's computer days, my idea is not great, and not best, but also not refuted. It is about +0.7, borderline between slight and clear advantage for White.

It was 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nd2 Nf6 4.e5 Nfd7 5.Bd3 c5 6.c3 Nc6 7.Ne2 and it was based on the old 7...Qb6 line.

7...Qb6 8.Nf3 cxd4 9.cxd4 f6 10.Nc3 (a gambit line available to White if Black plays the early ...Qb6.

Now the main line of this gambit runs 10...fxe5 11.Nxe5 Ndxe5 12.dxe5 Nxe5 13.Qh5+ Nf7 14.Bb5+

Well, I wanted to avoid that Bishop check and came up with 10...a6 with the idea of 11.O-O fxe5 12.Nxe5 Ndxe5 13.dxe5 Nxe5 14.Qh5+ Nf7, but it is +0.7 mainly because with White already castled, he has sacrificial ideas that are strong with Nxd5.

I played it twice as Black back in 1999 with a win and a draw. Opposition was about 1950, not GM.

Moral of the story is, pee-ons don't invent openings!

I appreciate what you are saying, but I really do think that this line I have found is good enough to be used in grandmaster games themselves. It has been played 23 times at most in the Yottachess database, the largest online database. However, it has no name and has never been covered before in books and other such material, or online. With Stockfish 16 40MB NNUE at depth 27, the evaluation after Black's move I want to be named after has a +0.5 advantage. You may argue this is still an advantage to White, but when you look at the main line of the English Attack in the Najdorf Sicilian which is the most common opening line in grandmaster games (1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 a6 6. Be3 e5 7. Nb3 Be6 8. f3 Be7 9. Qd2 O-O 10. O-O-O Nbd7 11. g4 b5 12. g5 b4 )

The evaluation is also +0.5. So this may be saying that my move that I have been working on and has been played rarely so far could have potential.

Please write back to tell me any further comments on this. Also indicate if you want to know the line.

1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nc6 5. Nc3 Qc7 6. g3 a6 7. Bg2 Nge7 8. Nb3 Ne5

What do you guys think about this?

hi im new to chess nie to meet you all

why Nb3 instead of Be3?

Because any line claimed to be great for Black [deleted by mod, vulgar language] involves forcing White to not play the best moves!

I have a great line for Black with high success! 1.f3 e5 2.g4 Qh4#

Pretty bad. Against 6. g3 I’d say pretty much anything works, but 7… Nge7 certainly pushes those boundaries considering how powerful 8. Be3 is, but even if somehow this fever dream comes to fruition in a real game, White still has a ridiculous amount of play, and your pieces as Black are… certainly on squares, but that’s about the best I can say about them. It doesn’t help that White doesn’t have one obvious way to continue, White has 4 just off the top of my head: 9. f4, 9. a4, 9. 0-0, 9. Qe2, and each of those is going to have many many offshoots given how open and maneuvering the position is.

I have another: 1. g3 Nc6 2. e4 Nd5 3. Ne2 Nf3#

I chose the most common line in the masters database. And like you are asking, Be3 is a +0.6 advantage and there is a move like d6 now. The engine line after this: 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nc6 5. Nc3 Qc7 6. g3 a6 7. Bg2 Nge7 8. Be3 d6 9. O-O Nxd4 10. Bxd4 Nc6 11. Na4 Nxd4 12. Qxd4 b5 13. Nb6 Rb8 14. Nxc8 Rxc8 15. a4 Qc4 16. Rfd1 Qxd4 17. Rxd4 Be7 18. axb5 axb5 19. c3 O-O

tell me if you want more of the line

Can I say that I am making white play the best moves, it is just because I was using masters database, I chose a second line of Stockfish which has a 0.1 difference. I know you are taking this wrong but can you actually look at the lines and then say whatever you want?

You have made some good points, but overall I would disagree. Why does black have a 50% win rate in the masters database then? Because black has many comfortable options of deploying their pieces; the knight on e5 goes to c4, after b5 the bishop goes to b7 and challenges the bishop on g2. The other knight can go to c6 or c8 and then b6 or d6 with nice central control, or even f5 after weakening moves like f4, which you have mentioned. White actually does not have great manoeuvring possibilities in the position. Even if a 3700 rated computer would find a plan, I am quite sure that anyone below that will find the position difficult for white to play against.

step 1: live 100 years ago

step 2: be rich

step 3: get good at chess

step 4: one-trick an opening for a while, and win, against good players

step 5: wait 20 years for news to spread

Who is running this site? See posts 12 or 14 as they quoted before the snowflakes declared what I said "vulgar". There is nothing vulgar about it. I see people posting f-bombs and the N-word and they have an issue with what I said, yet left the N-word in a thread title out there?

SMH! Seriously, just SMH!

Don't listen to these guys! There is a way to get your opening named after you. You contact the Federation International de noms des Ouvertures (FIDNO) headquartered in Luxembourg. The will invite you to come to their Castle to engage is single combat against other candidates. If you win, your opening is named after you and anyone who plays it has to give you 25 cents.

PS: Brush up on your swordsmanship!

Okay, thank you to everyone for the great contributions! I wish you all good luck in your chess endeavours!

I think that in order to have your analysis and contributions recognized, it would help to have at least a masters title to begin with. Most chess bodies would be quick to brush you off, considering the fact that openings have already been deeply analyzed by the strongest of players and engines alike for generations. Perhaps some success in implementing your opening in tournament play could contribute to your credibility.
