An oldie but still a goody: the Bishop's Opening.

This pawn advance makes sense here. It frees the other bishop to develop, and holds back the development of the knights on the understanding that Black can't do anything to stop them anyhow.

Note that if you like to play 3. Nc3 after 2... Nf6, things can get rather lively with 3... Nxe4  

also 3.Nf3 for white is possible

nuntar although you reply with bxf7+ and then kxe4 and remove his castling and equalize on his 3. nc3 nxe4

More usual is ...Nc6. This pawn advance must be with the intention of ...b5 to follow.

I prefer 4.Nf3 here, with the idea that the bishop can safely establish itself on b3 after 4...b5.

at the moment of the game i like playing this to keep out the black bishop and serve as a future hiding hut at the same time and removes a future resting spot for his knight after he plays nf6 >< my rust still shows cause ive learnt black prefer to park their DSB on c5 when i use the bishops opening hehe but i just considered this a move with 3 intentions in it plus it also saves from playing bb3 on his b5 and if he decides to do a5 to follow with a4. it saves me the trouble of having to move the bishop twice, although considering i like to park my knight on d2 i shouldnt play this to invite a bishop check to play c3 since i like c3

better make small pieces develop first before many pawn moves

for white until now 4 pawn moves and only bishop !!

A very odd gambit. Black doesn't seem to gain anything for the pawn.

I would prefer 6. .....Nd5 , and if 7.Qf3 then 7. ..... Be6 to keep holding the center.

Seems fine, though 7. Ba2 must also be playable.

Qa4+ forces c6, and white has a promising attack after b4. The loss of the lsb is dangerous for white due to its pawn's structure.

if Qa4+ was blocked by the bishop (developed), queen would have to retreat. Lost tempo x2

7. Qa4+ Bd7?? 8. QxN

i think if Qa4+ he just goes back with nc6 and now my queen would be stuck left side with my lsb with an open right side to my king his LSB knight and queen

Instead of 10...Re8, 10...Bxe5 was playable, as after 11.Qxe5? Re8 12.Qxe8 Qxe8ch leaves material roughly even (Queen for Rook, Knight and pawn), but Black with the better game (the White King has to move out of check, as 13.Ne2 Bg4 simply wins a piece for Black).

although bg5 pins his knight he immediately replies with Bg2 and i get checked and he kills my queen with his rook

12.Bg5!? ++++++++++++ On reflection, no: 12.Bg5 Rxe5 is good enough for Black.

It doesn't seem bad at all. You keep the phantom of a future attack on h7 if the h pawn comes to take the B. Which is very unlikely.

13...Bg3!? Idea: 13.Qf1 Re1ch or 13.Qc2 Ne4 14.hxg4?? Nf2ch 15.Kd2 Bf4#.

Has Black enough attack for the piece...? A possible line is 15...Bxc3 16. Qf2 Rad8 with the threat 17...Qb3#. Against this threat 17.Kc2 is no defence: 17.Qd3ch and mate follows quickly. However, it appears that White can defend by 16.Qc4, after which Black's attack peters out and he stays a piece behind.

Very nice, archduke.

Clever. 16.hxg4 Bxc3 would be very unpleasant for White.

(!) A fine, astute defence!

Very nice!
