I just thought of a new opening!
it will start like the ruy lopez:
1.e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 Nf6 4. c4 ?
Somewhere in the future d3 needs to be made by white as well.
think about it.
good pawn structure
control of center
and since the bishop is aleady out it does not block any pieces.
Im gonna try it in a few games, anyone want a unrated game to try this out?

then im gonna play a crap move 4.c4???
somewhere in the future, if i ever get chance, im gonna play d3
think about it (or not, as in this case)
bad pawn structure
loss of a pawn
and since the bish is allready out, he might as well stay there, c ...[text shortened]... ling about it, that crazy old spanish priest never found it, SO IT MUST BE GOOD
green as ever
I guess that chess is the only thing you are good at in your life, since you sound like a misrable pathetic old man.

Never caught on though 😉

Originally posted by Faith No MoreThere was nothing wrong with you posting this. There were a few valid comments from which we can learn ... and the other ones, well just disregard them. Don't be impressed by the statement that it is not a 'book' move. Nor isn't 4.a3, but I have won games playing it. It forces your opponent to think for himself!

edit. I didn't see Osse's posting before, but it is in the same spirit.

You're thinking and trying new things, which is good. Those people who looked at the opening and told you why it's good/bad by showing you the consequences are the people to respect. Then there are a bunch of pricks with attitudes, like on any forum. Anyone who says "it's never been done by smarter people than you, therefore it's wrong" are idiots.
I think the Maroczy Bind idea is solid. It's hard to take advantage of a hole unless you can open the file, and you really can't do that in the MB, if I remember correctly. I don't use it, but I respect it. A "weakness" is only a weakness if you can take advantage of it.

I just looked at the game testing this out, and this variation (4. c4) has more possibilities than I thought. This looks interesting Faith!
I never meant this to be any good,and I never meant for anyone to try it. I just wanted to hear about its advantages and disadvantages.
I would like for a game against you with this opening if you wish.

Hey FNM-- I think it's cool that you posted this idea. Far better to explore things on your own than to simply unthinkingly accept received wisdom. If I had more of your spirit I'd probably be a better chess player. 🙂
Its not hard to think of other openings, just picture yourself a situation on a chess board unlickly to happen and think about the varation to get there.
Im still hopiing that some heavy hitter will comment about how really bad this c4 is.

[re: ongoing game] ...Suffice it to say that I just spent a good half hour calculating my last move simply to find a line that I think permits me to come out of this only losing a pawn.
Paul, at the beginning of move 9, why didn't you go Qa4xBb4?
