Hello
I have played white with this opening of my own but it seems that it doesn't exist in opening books.It often makes me get an advantage or even win against average players , so what do you think of this one ?:

1 d4 d5
2 Nc3 Nf6
3 Bf4 Nc6
4 Nb5
if 3 Nc6 the trick works then it is Nb5, if not then I wait for Nc6 while playing Nf3 or e3

2...Ng6 is impossible so probably you though 2...Nf6.

1.d4 d5 2.Nc3 is called Richter - Veresov attack.

Yes it is 2..Nf6
ok but what is the theory after 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. Bf4 ?
and is 3 B.f4 Nc6 an opening ?

I don't know if it has a name either...

3. ... Nc6 is a mistake : Probably 3...c6 or a6 is simplest to avoid the trap.

3. ... Bf5, c7-c6 and e7-e6 are most popular. It doesn't have a name but 3. ... Nc6 is most certainly a mistake, scoring worst of the major variants. This is not a good opening for White who scores less than 40% if Black doesn't follow suit.

Play decent openings without tricks if you want to progress.

I Believe the opening A4 H5 H4 A5 doesn't have a name also. Can I register it?

Your opening is similar to the Barry Attack: 1 d4 Nf6 2 Nf3 g6 3 Bf4 Bg7 4 Nc3.

What kind of opening is A4 H5 H4 A5, the only notation i know is Eco , and is listed between A00 to A99, B00 to B99, C00 to C99, D00 to D99, E00 to E99.
There's no letter H in Eco .

That opening requires 2 idiots to conspire together.
Since 99% of players would answer 1.a4 with 1...e5 or 1...d5 I think you should look elsewhere!

ok, i thought it was a ECO code, after all, was an opening. I never played but seems to be a bad opening 1. a4 h5 2. h4 a5 .
