Need a new open

I'm desparate. My play is so bad lately I need to change my open. Suggest a good 6 move start that developes my pieces. I'll worry about the end game. My current 4 move checkmate start isn't working because after its blocked, the good players chase my queen all over the place. HELP, HELP, or as the say in Texas: Hep, Hep! And dont tell me to read some book lol.

Hi wwallygator,
I can really sympathise with 'getting worse'. I don't play much nowadays and I'm usually dog tired by the time I get to GC. If you see me around and would like to chew over some possibilities, just send a message. I'm no great shakes at the openings, but I can give general pointers, etc.

Why not play the four knights (e4 e5 Nf3 Nc6 Nc3 Nf6) or the Ruy Lopez (e4 e5 Nf3 Nc6 Bb5 a6 Ba4 Nf6 O-O Be7 Re1 b5).
Against a Sicilian as white you can play (e4 c5 Nf3 d6 d4 cxd4 Nxd4 Nf6 Nc3... and you will see white has active knights and free lines for his bishops)
It's hard to know Wwallygator, do you prefer queen or kings pawn games or what? Cause there are just so many openings. Against even slightly experienced players, bringing out yer queen early is asking for trouble. Develop the minor pieces and some pawns first, and castle early while learning how to open.
If you wanna a game sometime gimme a shout

King's Gambit (1. e4 e5 2. f4)
Gambits are always good in development, but it's a little tough... you need to have accurate play.

I used 'Waspworts' open of Pawn to E4, Knight to F3, and Bishop to B5 to beat some quality players. Thanks for the input, it helped. Lot of trading pieces, but I was left with my pieces well developed.

Study openings.. Bringing queen out for that 4 move checkmate only works with newbs dude. Also premature. No need to bring it out yet. REMEMBER THE KEYS TO SUCCESS IN CHESS.
1. Bring knights out before bishops, unless otherwise needed
2. Castle A.S.A.P. - Unless you have a good plan.
3. Attack when both of your rooks are lined up.<brWork on openings first. Then move to end game.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
