Chess openings names • page 2/2 • General Chess Discussion • lichess.org

I had to edit this post and delete game I had posted. Thanks #12

The name of the opening 1. e4 e5 2.d3 is "King Pawn Game: Leonardis Variation" according to lichess analysis.
It's very weird because Black wins 53,25% and draws 16,50% according to Chesstempo data base, but there is a game Caruana - Aronian in 2018 (it was a game 1 + 1 on internet, and 2. d3 was probably a Fabiano's mouseslip or an attempt to confuse Levon. Aronian won).

Some lines seems to be called Clam Variation (as the King's Gambit Reversed (1.e4 e5 2.d3 f5) or the Radish Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.d3 Cf6 3.f4 Ac5)) and other line is called Weber Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.d3 d5 3.exd5 c6 4.dxc6 Cxc6).

there used to be an android app that would name every opening for you ....... #1....... you could check your openings with it and see if its been named ....... when i finish mine im going to call it " the hobo " ✌ its a kind of derelick attack....... i get into some wild crazy games with it ... probaby none of which has probably ever been played in serious tournaments...

Chess has been around for a while - so you would be limited to creating a variation of an existing opening.

On a related note... be sure to check out "Chess Opening Names: The Fascinating & Entertaining History of the First Few Moves" by Nathan Rose. I don't know if it's historically accurate but it's filled with interesting anecdotes about chess openings.

Here is an excerpt:

“...the Fried Liver Attack got its name from the Italian way of preparing liver, known as Fegatello. A pig’s liver is cut, crushed and wrapped in a net, then roasted over an open flame or in a skillet. The metaphor is Black’s king: it is drawn out into the open so that White can turn up the heat. One slip and Black may find his precious monarch cooked. It is also an Italian idiom to say that something is “dead as a piece of liver”."
