During my chess club today, I mentioned the joke about the Boungcloud opening on chess.com, but one of the guys I played with said it was similar to a real opening, which he show me.

 Anyone recognize this?

 

I tried it in a couple games, but I did well because of the difference in skill, the opening itself sucked.

I created a line on this opening. Here is some information:

It is most often called the Fred Defense. It is considered one of the worst defenses to 1. e4. However, there are some alternative names:

Duras Gambit

Reversed From

Tiers Countergambit

2... Nf6 is the safest move, but the line:

3. d4    d5

4. Bd3 is still better for White.

2... Kf7?! is the "Southern Fred". White can play these moves:

3. Be2

3. g4

3. Nf3

3. Qh5+ (known as the Mao Tse Tung Attack.)

3. Bc4 is not as good because of 3... d5.

I have a forum on this opening, check it out!
