The Perfect Opening

This starts out like the four knights opening. What opening does this most look like and what would White's next best move to make? Is there an opening that has both the d and e pawns pushed two squares sometime in the opening for both Black and White? If not, why?

"The following diagram shows a powerful setup for all of white's pieces. You are unlikely to achieve such a fine position against a strong opponent, but it is very useful to have a plan! "

This ideal position for White is from Chess is Fun: http://www.princeton.edu/~jedwards/cif/intro.html

The reason I doubt you would see this is because after 1. e4 e5 2. d4 d5!? white can play 3. dxe5, and if black responds with 3... dxe4 you get 4. Qxd8 Kxd8 and black losing his castling privvies and probably a tempo or two from open file checks. In other words, 2... d5 is not good for black. IMO

wontronb hes talking about the position chess players strive to reach in other word this is just to show us the best place ment of the pieces pretend black isntr their or the other way around

Black is copying whites every move! and white made some bad moves.

Very good call on Qxd8 Kxd8 and the loss of Black's ability to castle. Here's what Chessmaster 11 played after the King Pawn Game/Beyer Gambit  1. e4 e5 2. d4 d5:

Exactly. Thank you! I found a match that uses something like the Beyer Gambit. You will see all four pawns in the center, but the exchange will leave two pawns on the Queen side, so there's no need to exchange queens.  Maybe it would be good for Blitz games...perhaps confusing the opponent a bit and costing some clock time. I've never seen an opening like this before. Enjoy.

huh.. what is this?
