Sorry but its not new.
Yeah, that was a long shot LOL
But does it have a name?
English opening, anglo-dutch defence (devil's horns set-up)
Sort:
Hugh Myers called it the Mujannah formation, because it resembles an ancient Shatranj tabiya. Marmaduke Wyvill also played this way in the 1800s, so it is sometimes called the Wyvill formation.

Ah geesh, that's disappointing.Thanks for explaining, guys.
Guess I'll have to stumble upon something else to claim my contribution to chess lore 
Playing the black side I unintentionally reached this piece configuration.As an old metalhead I thought it was a bit funny.
If it's new, or as of yet unnamed, I'm calling it the devil's horns variation..It even appears to be equal so you can actually play it.
