As Anderssen's Opening is not commonly played, it is considered an irregular opening. The move is classified under the A00 code in the Encyclopedia of Chess Openings. But lets get down to business. First and foremost, I would not recommend using this opening in serious chess play for three reasons: It doesn't develop any pieces for white, it doesn't develop the center for white, and it gives away your opening advantage. Luckily for me, I played this game in live chess, and I encountered a lower ranked player and if you look back I won in 21 moves only because they didn't know how to react to this opening, I am guessing because of how rare it is. But this is how you would play this opening, and again, I would not recommend this opening for tournament play as it gives away all of your advantage if you are playing a veteran chess player. |
