Introducing: The Thrawn Opening

Sort:
AdiSFATM

I have combined a lot of openings together to create an ultimate opening that can get someone from 500 to 700 elo in JUST A FEW MONTHS. Due to Grand Admiral Thrawn's great strategic skills I have decided to name it after Thrawn. Introducing: The Thrawn Opening.

How do you play this opening tongue.png

AdiSFATM
You start with king pawn, the pawn next to it, the other pawn next to that, the knights and bishops and queen, and then everything else.

Thats bad. You give your opponent a lead in development and create positional holes on b4 and d4. You cant decide to Play this and that and then that, you have to react to your opponents moves. Also, No opening will get you anywhere. Learn tactics and you will get from 500 to 700 in a week

Improved version of the Thrawn opening (also prevents back-rank checkmate and puts more defense on bishop)

AdiSFATM

D4 is NOT a weakness as 2 pieces are defending it. The only weaknesses are B4 and A3 and only a bishop or queen can go from B4 to A3. So basically you barely have chances of attacking but your defense is almost like a titanium shield (with a few small weaknesses, still vulnerable to trades but not to attacks).

AdiSFATM

This opening lets you control almost all your half of the board + some parts of the opponent’s half of the board. If someone tries to checkmate with queen on G2 you just have to move its pawn forward and potentially move your E3 bishop and the H2 pawn as well.

1. You don’t have to always play this in the main order. It works as long as you get most of the pieces in the positions even if you play in any order to defend agianst the opponent.

2. This opening is designed to be played by lower elo players, not ones playing against 1,000+ elo players.

3. This opening is MEANT to be one of the longest openings as it is MEANT to remove AS MANY weaknesses as possible on more than half the board.

For some reason ChatGPT keeps calling this a meme opening when it is meant to be serious.

AdiSFATM

Which is why only a dark bishop or a queen could possibly get past the weaknesses. It removes the chances of knights, pawns and light bishop from getting past the defenses.

AdiSFATM

This opening works against low elo players AND is easy to memorise if you play it frequently as there is not exactly a specific order and it can be played in many orders depending on the situation.

AdiSFATM

(It basically works against almost anyone with below 650 elo)

AdiSFATM

This is meant to be a complete defense opening with almost no chances of attack for both yourself and the opponent, and since almost all opening moves are already made it makes it extremely effective in 1 minute chess as the opponent has to think about moves and you barely have to think about yours.

AdiSFATM

(My elo is only around 750 and I have only been playing for around 2 years so you can’t really expect the opening to be 100% perfect yet, it will improve over time with updates as I will keep playing with it and improving it.)

AdiSFATM

The Thrawn opening doesn’t require you to instantly move pieces there, therefore you can also prevent 4 move checkmate by protecting the pawn the bishop and queen attack by using your queen, and then move your queen to its right position after a few more moves. Basically as long as eventually most of your pieces are in their places it will go well. I will probably make a whole guide for this opening lol.

AdiSFATM

Thrawn opening is just made for effortless increase in 1 minute elo and absolute defense strategy instead of fun tbh

AdiSFATM

This opening not being simple is actually an ADVANTAGE as you KNOW your every move in EVERY match. You just have to get used to the opening and you will almost never run out of time anymore. Your opponent will still have to think a lot, you won’t.

AdiSFATM

This opening allows you to already know more than 10 of your first moves. The opponent will probably have to start thinking after the 3rd or 4th.

All right, you are saying the move order is e4 and then e3 and then c4 and then so forth

What about 1. e4 e5 2. d3 d5

Now what?

You're cooked
