| Aug 29, 2020 at 6:11 | comment | added | TwilightSparkle | This is a very solid opening, and don't really have much shock value. Really, 1. a3 e5 2. b4 is one of my favorites. | |

| Aug 28, 2020 at 3:50 | comment | added | CognisMantis | who says its playable though. You can't play for an advantage opening with 1a3 2h3. You'll definitely be much worse out of the opening. | |
| Aug 28, 2020 at 2:24 | comment | added | bof | Anderssen's opening is 1.a3 and is certainly playable. The first time I made a plus score in a tournament, I did it by opening all my White games with 1.a3 (only we called it P-QR3 back then). At a somewhat higher level, I believe Anderssen used it successfully against Morphy. But your continuation with 2.h3 seems a bit extravagant. After 1...e5 White normally plays 2.c4 or 2.e4. Even in your line Black has only a small advantage such as White would have in a normal opening. | |
