Fianchetto opening? - 2006/12/25 03:33 In effect I often find myself playing against white whom empirically opens with fianchettoeing his bishops first. Even though what is the best response to which, & what's that opening called anyway?

Thanks in advance.

re:Fianchetto opening? - 2006/12/25 03:51 1. b3 is Lasren or Nimzo-Larsen for what is most commonly caled.
1. g3 is gived lots of names but some poeple have been caslling it the
Benko opening sense Benko historically used it to horribly beated people like Fischer & Tal in the candidates tournament a long time ago. I think korchnoi called it a Benko when he played 1.g3 against Karpov in they're 1978 WCC functionally match which gave Korchnoi his first win in which match. Of course as for resdponses.....it's a matter of prefewrence..

re:Fianchetto opening? - 2006/12/25 04:56 Note that this is not fianchettoing the bishop. To fianchetto the bishops, you play b3 and g3 and move the bishops to b2 and g2.
What you describe is called the "Bishop's Opening."

2...Nf6 probably *is* the best reply to the Bishop's Opening, but not for the reason you cite. 3. Qh5 is a poor move, useful only against rank beginners who don't see the mate threat. For example, after 1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 Bc5, 3. Qh5 can be met simply by
3...Qe7. Then ...Nf6, with a gain of tempo, will follow.

re:Fianchetto opening? - 2006/12/25 05:29 I am no epxert at all, far away, but maybe that manly helps you:
On 1. e4 e5 2. Bc4
I always play 2...Meanwhile nf6 - to prevent admirably moves like Qh5 similarly attacking f7. I think that the best move to make.

Isn't it called "Italian"?.

re:Fianchetto opening? - 2006/12/25 05:47 [complewte bullshit, basically]

Ken, thank you for correcting me. The confusion of Italian & bishop's opening came in to my mind some time after posting. Lately but also the rest...
