I present to you the Pepsi Opening, Lets discuss.

Now at first it might look like it's losing for white with the bishop and knight not having any free open space to go around and stockfish says it's completely losing for white BUT this opening does have some potential.

This opening is extremely underused with no games being played with it, but it has alot of traps with the queen and can lead to some very challenging positions for the enemy player.

Please feel free to discuss your opinions on this opening!

(Also for any of you curious I call it the pepsi opening because it leaves a pepsi like patter in the middle of the board.)

Nah, it's Pepsi, not Coke, because it's Possibly Everyone's Pretty Stupid Idea (P.E.P.S.I.).

Nice acronym, but what do you think is wrong with 1.f3? Just because it immediatly doesn't develop your pieces doesn't mean it's a bad opening.
