I try this opening for fun in playchess.com(I play also 1...d5 2...Bh3 with black) and after 8 games I surprise myself with rating of 1898(I expect it to go down with more games but in the last game I won against a player with rating above 1800) I used open formula in the first games and later I used a formula of 1200-2000 I play there under the name Without_Bishop 2 players out of 8 simply did not capture the bishop but it is their problem and I did not give them another opportunity. I think that it may be interesting to know if humans can get better rating than computers with that opening(it is possible that they can do it because computers always play the best move and do not try to set traps that are based on mistake of the opponent and in a bad position a trap may be better idea). Note that it is not hard to write for computers an opening book that will force them to play that opening. My blitz rating in normal chess in playchess.com is now 2048 that is my best rating but I think that my real level is lower and is probably 1900-2000. I will admit that I am probably above 2000 only when I will have in the chessbase statistics more than 50% against average 2000 or higher and today I have only 51.4% against average 1911 Uri
