Moves : Nf3 Bc4 f4 Nc3 Bb5 d4 Qh5 ? (back)
The open game is a fight for center squares : d4 and d5 are already under control, and the probable next moves 2.Nf3 or 2.Nc3, then 2. ... Nc6 or 2. ... Nf6 will take control of e4 and e5 squares as well.
Games are often more tactical than in Sicilian opening (1.e4 c5), and requires more calculation than deep strategy. Furthermore, black chances to win are lower than in Sicilian, so I avoid to play it against computers or at correspondence chess. According to Chessbase and correspondence chess statistics, black chances are about 43% ============ Contributors : Thibault de Vassal [ECO "C20"] [Opening "King's pawn game"] Nf3 : 3450 games, White ELO av : 1629, Black ELO av : 1618 1-0 : 45.3% , 1/2-1/2 : 10.6% , 0-1 : 35.1% f4 : 304 games, White ELO av : 1584, Black ELO av : 1540 1-0 : 58.2% , 1/2-1/2 : 6.3% , 0-1 : 31.9% Bc4 : 150 games, White ELO av : 1567, Black ELO av : 1543 1-0 : 46% , 1/2-1/2 : 5.3% , 0-1 : 42.7% d4 : 149 games, White ELO av : 1456, Black ELO av : 1459 1-0 : 43% , 1/2-1/2 : 6% , 0-1 : 42.3% Nc3 : 110 games, White ELO av : 1588, Black ELO av : 1599 1-0 : 47.3% , 1/2-1/2 : 10% , 0-1 : 32.7% Bb5 : 35 games, White ELO av : 1921, Black ELO av : 1846 1-0 : 51.4% , 1/2-1/2 : 5.7% , 0-1 : 42.9% d3 : 16 games, White ELO av : 1311, Black ELO av : 1261 1-0 : 18.8% , 1/2-1/2 : 12.5% , 0-1 : 68.8% c4 : 14 games, White ELO av : 1620, Black ELO av : 1612 1-0 : 7.1% , 1/2-1/2 : 14.3% , 0-1 : 57.1% Qh5 : 8 games, White ELO av : 1495, Black ELO av : 1560 1-0 : 37.5% , 1/2-1/2 : 0% , 0-1 : 62.5% c3 : 8 games, White ELO av : 1282, Black ELO av : 1368 1-0 : 37.5% , 1/2-1/2 : 0% , 0-1 : 62.5% Be2 : 4 games, White ELO av : 1750, Black ELO av : 1767 1-0 : 0% , 1/2-1/2 : 0% , 0-1 : 100% b3 : 4 games, White ELO av : 1629, Black ELO av : 1518 1-0 : 50% , 1/2-1/2 : 0% , 0-1 : 50% g3 : 4 games, White ELO av : 1420, Black ELO av : 1413 1-0 : 50% , 1/2-1/2 : 0% , 0-1 : 50% Ne2 : 2 games, White ELO av : 1819, Black ELO av : 1745 1-0 : 0% , 1/2-1/2 : 50% , 0-1 : 0% Qf3 : 2 games, White ELO av : 1300, Black ELO av : 1422 1-0 : 0% , 1/2-1/2 : 0% , 0-1 : 100% a3 : 2 games, White ELO av : 1375, Black ELO av : 1245 1-0 : 50% , 1/2-1/2 : 0% , 0-1 : 50% Qg4 : 1 game, White ELO av : 1800, Black ELO av : 1800 1-0 : 100% , 1/2-1/2 : 0% , 0-1 : 0% b4 : 1 game, White ELO av : 1500, Black ELO av : 1432 1-0 : 0% , 1/2-1/2 : 0% , 0-1 : 100% g4 : 1 game, White ELO av : 1800, Black ELO av : 1414 1-0 : 0% , 1/2-1/2 : 0% , 0-1 : 100% h3 : 1 game, White ELO av : 1334, Black ELO av : 1254 1-0 : 100% , 1/2-1/2 : 0% , 0-1 : 0% See this chess line with the javascript viewer
