My opening

You might want to rethink these lines.  How do you answer. 1...e5?  What about 4...d4?

The point is, you can't play an opening that expects your opponent to not see mate in 1.  That's just asking for trouble.  Stick to the basics: control the center, develop pieces, and castle.  There's a reason no one plays this line...it's terrible!

The problem with this is, if your instant mate trick does not work, black might get an advantage. Plus, I doubt that many people will fall for this. I am sorry if I sound pessimistic, but its true!

e6?

1.c3 is actually an OK move. It will normally transpose to a 1.d4-opening or Caro-Kann in the forehand (after 1...e5 2.d4), but Black may use time already at move one.
