Hey everyone! I was looking over games of a particular opening strategy which was apealing to me. I have not been able to find these games since and thus have not been able to identify which opening these games were displaying. The best way I can explain it is that the opening usually ended with the Queen on b3 and a bishop on c4. I was wondering if anyone knew of any opening strategies that correspond with these positions. Thanks in advance!

You know which game I speak off.
Originally posted by LordofADownI'm not sure about the Giuco Piano but it is in the Evan's gambit.
Thanks everyone minus Jusuh, all the information was really helpful. And I beleive it was the Giuco Piano. Is Qb3 a standard move for the Giuco Piano or an uncommon variation?
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4
White gives up a pawn to create his pawn center faster and develop faster.
4...Bxb4 5.c3 etc... with d4, 0-0, Qb3 and strong attack by white.
Originally posted by LordofADownThe Spanish Opening remains the most popular. The Berlin Defense has been growing in popularity within the Spanish variations.
Evan's Gambit! That's it. Thanks for the help RahimK. BTW, if anyone gets a chance could you tell me what the most common openings are today?
At the highest levels, the Sveshnikov Sicilian and Petroff Defense have grown immensely in popularity over the past few years.
