Hadrian's wall - My chess system

@BeepBeepImAsleep
Also, I checked the SF analysis and you had a bad position until your opponent's middlegame queen blunder. After your first 8 moves you had an SF score of -1.7, meaning that you are down the positional equivalent of 1.7 pawns. Your opening appears to violate not only theory (which can sometimes be fine for lower level players like us) but also seems to me to contradict basic chess principles like development, controlling the center, and never ever playing f3 in the opening. All possibility of castling is thrown to the side as well. I am by no means a chess expert, but I do know that the experts play both traditional and nontraditional openings by these principles.

I'm sold. I'm gonna start playing f3, Nh3 g3 Nf2 Bg2 for a while and then make sense of it from there.

well, my own theory holds true again. If you hang pieces, it doesn't matter what opening you play, you'll lose. The system was not to blame. Openings don't influence who wins or loses much at all. It just determines whether you reach positions you enjoy playing or not. I'm gonna play this system for a few days. He just sat there after f3, Nh3.

Openings don't win, but they can lose. While this loss was not strictly due to the opening, it made life much harder for ypu.

"Openings don't win, but they can lose"
Yes, but white can afford many things without getting into danger of losing.

"it made life much harder for you"
Not necessarily. What is harder: play something objectively inferior where the opponent has to think of his own starting move 1, or spend time & effort mastering mainstream openings and then play 20 moves from memory where the opponent plays grandmaster move after grandmaster move without even thinking.

But simple stuff like e5, d5, Nf6, Nc6, Bc5, Bf5 is going to get you in some serious trouble. SF says that black was better for most of the opening, which is unusual. We could go on and on about this, but I think that we can agree that it is a subpar but defensible opening played mostly for its psychologica value. I usually prefer the sound lines that my opponent is ready for and you prefer the slightly unsound lines that make your opponent think. Now, with the Hadrian's wall system....that one loses psychological value fast and is unsound.

This system is deadly in bullet as you can play these short moves very quickly ;-)

@HamHockJinn agreed

My favourite thing about this thread?
