What's a "European Influence?" The fact that the opening is named for someplace in Europe? How about openings and variations named after GMs from Europe?
European Openings.

Hard to escape history.

Some of my favorite openings when I'm in Europe:
Bonjour, comment vous êtes, je joue aux échecs
Hola, cómo estás, yo juego de ajedrez
Hallo, wie geht es dir, ich spiele Schach
The list goes on...
Very nice.

I don't think the Europeans are allowed to have openings unless the U.S. says it's okay.

Belarus, Bosnia-Hercegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Poland, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine are all Slavic countries. Last time I checked most of those exist.

It a wild line in the Scandinavian Defense/Norse variation.
"1. e4 d5 2. Nf3 dxe4 3. Ng5 Nf6 4. Bc4 e6 5. Nc3 Bc5 6. d3"

Thanks 
However i think this should be simply called Tennyson Gambit by trasposition (usually reached via 1.Nf3 d5 2.e4) since it completely trasposes.
Or maybe this name refers particularly to 6.d3? But isn't Bc5 really uncommon due to 6.Nxe4 which looks rather pleasant for white?
has to be the Icelandic gambit of the scandanavian defence...

We'll have to come up with a opening called the Winnepeg whip or the Toronto Tornado what do you think...lol
The modern.
I don't think I've ever heard of "modern" Where in Europe is it?
