A new dwarf opening

Bronze MemberThudmeister

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).

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?

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,

Palm
