    Does anyone know if the below opening has a name? Or a close relative?

    Cheers

    Most competent players playing with the black pieces wouldn't let you establish such a dominant centre, so that exact formation is rare in competitive chess. Broadly speaking, you're dealing with what's called a double-fianchetto system.

    Cheers.

    About the fianchetto. Is it true that i would have established a fianchetto here without moving the knights? Ie doesnt fianchetto relate to the bishops only?

    So havent i done a fianchetto and "something"

    Is there any word for such a combo?

    Thanks again

    You're right that the fianchetto applies to the bishops only.

    The knights generally - not always - go to the squares you've put them on. So if there's a word for it, it's maybe just that you've developed them.

    There's no term for that exact combination.
