1...E4...c5 2...bc5 is the Hillbilly Attack? Never heard of it but I won with it.

Nope, Hillbilly is the bishop opening 2. Bc4 in the Caro-Kann defense (1. e4 c6).

Yes, you are correct, that is what was played. I'd never heard of it but obviously it suits me! 😁

It's not astonishing that U played it since Bc4 is such a natural move. In Sicilian it's called Bowlder attack. wink.png
