But, what I can't understand is why would you name a bad opening and still use, cmsMaster says it sucks. Any person with a higher rating like to prove his suggestion wrong? And also another thing what does the word 'Saragossa' mean?
BTW: 1.c3 d5 2.Qc2 actually intrigues me, although it's still not strong. But looks like it would be fun to play in blitz nonetheless.
I doubt any strong players will try to prove me wrong, because they know that it's a bad opening.
BTW:It's not played on the top level often. In fact, I doubt it's been played in any serious tournament match between two grandmasters.

Originally posted by Knight SquarePeople just named them. Don't ask me why. I suppose a4 and h4 control b5 and g5 respectively. However, they aren't exactly respected openings. People apparently just like name things...
Don't worry, amazing though. Did they have any reason? a4, and h4 were for rook lifts, right?
