If you post your analysis here, someone might look at even though it seems to
have little to do with computer chess.  Why do you think Bb5 and Qb3 are good?

Are you using any kind of chess software to help you?  If so, what?  Chessbase
version 8.0 or Chess Assistant 7.0 would be great tools for you, but they are
expensive.  Someone here might suggest less expensive software tools which would
also be helpful.  It might even be possible to download something for free!

Did you try rec.games.chess.analysis?  It's better than nothing.  Not much
better, but still better.

The fact is, as you say, the chess thinkers forum is NO GOOD for chess, or for
anything else as far as I can see.  There does not seem to be a really good
moderated chess analysis forum in the English language.

You could also try sending a letter to one of the chess masters at a chess
magazine.  Some of those magazines have columns where ideas are discussed.

You could also start playing games with your new idea.  It might be necessary to
get a friend to agree to play the line, though.  Try it from both sides. Develop
a tree of ideas. Who knows, you could eventually become famous!  : )
