I like how 2. Bb4 is an illegal move...

I like how this opening has perhaps the most amusing name of them all. But despite SacredMountain's in-depth analysis above, Black often doesn't play 2. Bxb4 but first protects his e-pawn while preserving the possibility of taking White's loose pawn.

The Orang-Utan can be fun, but let's not oversell it. There are sound reasons why it's seldom played.
