Hey,
I have found an opening for white which I really like shown below. I have shown the moves that I think black would play.
Please tell me what you think and any improvements that could be made.

Depends entirely on what Black does. You can't really think of openings this way, it's no use.

This is the position I would almost always reach if black does not play his queen pawn two spaces after I play mine two spaces, and I could possibly reach this position in Queen's Gambit Declined as well.

Are you playing Anti-chess?

Hey, if you were playing Anti-chess(loser's chess), I think white could still draw the game.

if chess was "one move beats all" in any position it wouldnt be fun.

 

say you play 8 games with this. somehow your oppenents play the first 5 moves the same.. but then each varies their 6th move, so theres 8 different 6th moves.

is 7.b3 the best move in all 8 variations? probably not. thats why each opponent move needs to be reacted to accordingly.

Chess in which King has no significance and  player who loses all pieces wins.

If a capture is possible, it must be made, and a king can be captured. Game has no checks/check mate.

Its also called losers chess, suicide chess.

It is a nice setup, but black probably won't cooperate and let you do what ever you want.

I can cope with black trying to disrupt my centre, I would just recapture with the pawn and I still maintain the two pawns side by side.

I will show the moves that I think the opponent would play; since you insist.

I have a book on the Colle system that has tons of different counter setups. . and the ideal Colle position has less than 12 moves, so youd need to account for tons of variations in what your opponent might play

@Rapidfire,

Did you change the original post? I thought the op had just 1 black king and all white pieces. My comment on anti-chess makes no sense now.

OK, finally we have a position to analyze...and 13... e4 looks like it's winning a piece.  (Actually, to sidestep the possibility of 14 Bxe4 Nxe4 15 Nd5, Black ought probably to first play 13... Nb4 followed by 14... Nxd3, then 15... e4.)


I see now that e4 would win a piece, so would the best move be to take the pawn? I don't really see any other options.

Yes I did change the original post. I am not playing anti-chess and I decided to add moves for black.

I don't think you need to play 4 h3 (it wastes time and possibly will create a weakness).  Also the moment you play a Bd3/Qc2 setup you are inviting ... Nb4, so you should probably play a3 first to prevent this.

Black's setup is a bit crabbed.  6... Bd7 is a wasted move, and he probably should've played ... e5 right away, rather than taking two moves on it.  Also the 9... Qe7 idea can run into a possible Nd5 (after Black plays ... e5).


The purpose of h3 is to prevent my opponent's bishop from pinning my knight and the weakness created is minimal; it does not leave holes in the position where pieces can come to without being taken.

To be honest I don't know exactly what black would do, but I am sure he would do something like that - attacking the centre with his pieces then finally attacking with his pawns and trying to break up my centre.

There was no better place for the bishop to go than d7 so I guess it has to go there and I don't think that black would play e5 straight away before he had castled.

Are you mad? I am explaining the purpose of the moves so just beat it.
