Introducing: The Thrawn Opening

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.

most people I play against will have played enough games to not spend over 40 seconds in the opening, even in confusing positions. You will have around a 20 second time advantage while being lost positionally

to show how significant -1.5 is, I will show you that I win 89% of my rapid games when I am +1.5 at some point

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.

& the ruy lopez gives white an advantage & after 20 mins of studying you can also know your first ten moves

The knight is a loose piece as well, making c3 another weakness in case of Bg7

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

exactly

If they play normally & complete development like a normal person, within the first ten moves you have a significant disadvantage

Which is why there doesn’t always have to be the same order and as long as the MAJORITY of pieces are in correct places it works. If they do that you just have to take their pieces. And instead of moving king’s pawn you can just reverse most of the positions and move the queen’s instead.

If you rely too much on refining your openings, you will lose a lot. Even the most downright unorthodox openings can work if you know what you're doing; just look at Magnus Carlsen.

This opening is simply too passive to be effective; and I say that as a player whose main issue is that I don't play aggressively enough.

The bongcloud gives a higher winning chance than the thrawn opening. I even switched up the order. If they play correctly they will have a crushing position

I’m gonna try to advertise the opening anyways to make it popular lol

In higher depth engine the computer evaluates it even better for black

okey

Because it is meant for lower elo players, not high elo ones with above 800.
