Ok, no doubt most of us mere mortals will never have the mental capacity to come even close to creating a Smith-Morra Gambit or a Samisch Nimzo Indian...

IF you could create your own chess opening, what would you call it?

In paying homage to the gods of all comedy in the Universe(Monty Python), my opening would be named:

The Coconut Laden Swallow

with variations:
The European Coconut Laden Swallow
The African Coconut Laden Swallow
The Unladen Coconut Laden Swallow (accelerated)

Mine would be the "Balaclava" opening, named after the infamous cavalry charge during the Crimean war.

Mine would be called: "The naked Bishop", named after a famous South African politician, and designed to screw over any opponent who underestimate you.

You could follow this with the version based on the English Opening and call it "The Dead Bishop (On the Landing)".

At the risk of being non-PC (and annoying sjeg), I would propose the Irish opening but I think it's already called Fool's Mate.


The Vatican Opening where the Bishops go straight and ram the
little pawns.

Also available in the Boston Priests variation, where you do the
same while touching your oponent's leg under the table.
