I have been experimenting with this opening 1.e4 ...e6 2.d4 ...d6 as black and been enjoying some success with it.  I was wondering what the name of this variation is and maybe if anyone knew anything about it.

It's the Lengfellner system. I guess the idea is to go into a Hippo defense  since both bishops are locked in, but I'm not really familiar with this opening.

wow- I wrote that!? shows how much I've improved!

 

It is a great opening for bughouse btw, holding with black and winning with white.
