Hi,
I would like to introduce a new dwarf opening. It has been tried with SANEAlex, Bill Door, and Oograh Boike (who is co-authoring this).
I'm fairly sure it is a guaranteed blockbuilder. Please have a look and tell me what you think.
It is not about the first move, but the second:
d G15 - H15 T H9 - J10 d D13 - H9
this leaves the Trolls with four options, all of these will be discussed below.
First option:
T J10 - H10 x H9 d P9 - K14 T G8 - F8 d L2 - L13
which leaves dwarfs with a proto block. If Trolls decide to break, they are scattered enough to give dwarfs other possibilities.
Second option:
T J9 - H10 x H9 d H15 - P8 T J10 - K9
Choose any of the three dwarfs that can move to O9, and you have a block as well.
Trolls could also decide to 3: T J8 - K7. Dwarfs react by either a sacrifice, or moving 4: d P8 - H1.
Third option:
T G9 - H10 x H9 d H15 - A8
followed by a sacrifice to any reaction Trolls make.
Fourth option:
T G9 - G10 x H9 d H15 - A8
same as option three.
I'm convinced I can make a block with this combination in three to four moves, whatever Trolls decide (but sacrificing themselves).













Re: A new dwarf opening
Slight adaptation to your option 2:
d G15 - H15
T H9 - J10
d D13 - H9
T J9 - H10 x H9
d H15 - P8
T J8 - K7
And that's a situation we've got a lot of experience of - at a guess I'd say dwarves do:
d M3 - J6
then you'd get
T J7 - K6 x J6
But I dont think that's a lot better than most second-side situations for the dwarves. Whad'ya think?

Hi MS,
thx for answering to this new topic.
I think that, after these moves of your's, the dwarves do have a block.
And it means that the "new" opening has positive results or not?

Re: A new dwarf opening
I'm not 100% sure, but I think it means that this new opening is not guarenteed to get a block for the dwarves - so the new opening might have positive results, but it's possible to stop it from doing so.

Hi MS,
if you don't mind then we can try this in a game. If you want you can open a new topic and I will start from the beginning as Dwarve.
Greetings,
