Is there a name for this opening?

I think this is the classical setup against hypermodern openings. Back in the days of Staunton and Steinitz, I think the knights went on f3 and c3 and the bishops on e3 and d3. Over time, this system lost popularity,but it seems very playable. 🙂
26 Nov '12 16:57Originally posted by tim88I haven't gotten a chance to play this opening yet, on RHP. Four knights, Italian variation? I'll look that up, thanks.
have you played it on here? at RHP after the end of every game i think it tells you the opening you played. example in this game you played C46 Four knights Italian variation[gid]9660604 [/gid]

Sorry, it was actually mate in three from that position:
[pgn][Date "????.??.??"]
[Result "*"]
[FEN "rn3k2/pp2qBb1/3pPp2/4p2Q/7p/2N4P/PPPP1PP1/R4RK1 w - - 0 1"]
1.Nd5 { The only way for black to prevent mate in two, is by saccing the queen for white's pawn or bishop. If black doesn't: } 1...Qd8 2.Qh7 { No way to prevent mate. } ( 2.Qh7 )

hite had mate in two or three moves, which is why he resigned. }

26 Nov '12 17:431 editWhat's a hypermodern opening? Do you mean a modern-day, or a recent, currently trending style of opening?[/b]Classical school of chess in the late 19th century favored occupation and control of the center with pawns.
26 Nov '12 18:06What's a hypermodern opening? Do you mean a modern-day, or a recent, currently trending style of opening?A hypermodern opening is one where one side doesn't put any pawns in the center (e4-d4-e5-d5). Instead, the hypermodern opening tries to attack the center from the flanks. The idea is let white build a big center. Attack it. Let white loosen himself defending it. Destroy it. And last, toss black's center pawns forward (White's have destroyed and nothing can oppose them.)!!
