The Strongest Opening Ever

In my opinion, this opening by white against the Sicilian is the strongest ever (which I have created, that is). Please provide your opinion on this.

What does that even mean? It's not like your opponents will ever allow you to obtain the "strongest position ever" as you claim it to be.

I think checkmate is the strongest opening ever

My opponent did allow me to obtain the strongest opening ever, in this game:

Notice how in this opening, white is able to expand on the queenside instead of the kingside by moving the pawns to b4 and a4.

I assume you are talking about the sample game I posted above?

If he did 7. ..d5, I would do 8. Bd3.

as black,Nizmowitch Defence Kennedy Linksspringer Variation and Nimzo-Indian Defence at E4 and D4.That's what statistics show and no one can argue with them.

Pardon me, "Anonymous Person", but can you explain how black has an advantage? Thank you very much.

1) Pawns on both sides, which favors a bishop.

2) White's knight is still undeveloped.

3) White has the isolated d pawn.

4) Black has his rook nicely situated on the half-open d file.

Takes two to tango, a "setup" of your own pieces doesn't even qualify as an opening.  And even if it did, this isn't an advantageous setup against the Sicilians, the Yugoslav formation is much stronger and more versatile as well if you're the lazy systems/setup type of player.

Okay, and does anyone know how black can effectively defend against White's kingside pawn storms in the Najdorf?

As far as I know, I do not realize that there is or was ever chess openings called the "Chuck Norris Attack" nor the "Bruce Lee Defense".

I know it's a joke, I was trying to make my own joke by saying it riduculously formally like I actually didn't know there was a chess opening called that. Besides, I know how to google.

By the way, (and I don't know about you), I have found the formation of two knights on the same column extremely useful.

 

The black pawns mark the squares the knights are atacking.

Yes, that's very reasonable. While I post this, I'm getting more views.

I think a good name for this white setup is: The =+ Variation. Black develops, castles, plays d5 and has at the very least the slightly better position.
