This is all i got so far

1.a3 h5

2.c3 c5

Manchero

so was it supposed to have been the GM who opened with a3? or was the icelandic farmer white?

was it posted by a little icelandic kid with purple hair by any chance??

I really dont know. I guess it might be the farmer who open it.  Anyway it looks quite odd.  Thats what i got.

Don't google search it is all I can tell you. If you do this will come up

Manchero

maybe it's an anagram?

I tried playing this opening (1.a3 2.c3) against computer - easy mode.  I was succesful. I am gonna try against my friend who rated a bit higher than me.
