Ok, so I play this guy who is way better than me at chess, he's got this opening routine that he calls the Blitzkrieg ( I dunno if that's right ), but it involves getting me in a tough spot early on. Within 5 moves I think. Anyone know what I'm talking about? how do I play back at this?

There's no such opening, he made up the name. Give us the moves at least.

Does this opening have anything to do with "forming in a straight line" or "generatin steam heat"?

eh, i can't remember exactly. I think I am playing him tonight. I'll take a picture. I believe it involves a crossfire between a bishop and a queen both aimed at my queen. Is there a list of openings I can look at?

Does it involve a swift attack from several directions using tanks and heavy air support converging on Warsaw? If so, try not to rely so much on your outdated cavalry and avoid direct confrontation with the enemy, where their superior firepower will tell. Try a guerilla approach with lots of ambushes and sneak attacks. If you are forced to retreat, adopt a scorched earth policy and burn buildings and farms behind you to deny the invaders the supplies they need.
