Playing the knight to f6 instead of the queen would be nicer.
Really I don't care much about the "Smith Defence" to the Ruy lopez. first, there is probably a reason why it is "original" and second, you spelled defense wrong.
Ruy Lopez: Smith Defence
Sort:

lol (looks like somebody has to get across the pond more).
Not for long though probably (stupid American-based spellchecks).
I looked in my dictionary for this word. It says:
- obrámba: defence, ZDA (=USA) defense;
...and I used 1st word.
Aha...so you missed the new, improved version.

MSC, you have weak argument points for your so called "Smith Defense." There is a reason why your "novelty" is original and extremely rare. Play it and let some players exploit your silly queen move. You should not develop your queen so early!
Excuse me, but this is an abstract aphorism without any value.
Here Black
1. moved the same piece twice
2. lost the pawn on e5
3.ignored the opponent's threat to f7
4. moved his queen out early
You guess the result? Rather not: Black is close to winning.
Similar examples abound.
Aphorisms are for priests, which are not that good in chess (most of them, anyway).
But, 3...Nd4 is just bad. Isn't it? So that's not really a good example of a situation where it's okay to move the same piece twice. 4. Nxe5 is a blunder, and white has several better fourth moves that give him more than what he started with on move one. You know all of this of course. I think a sound opening would provide a better example.

Sure, 3... Nd4 is bad. But 3... Nd4!! c'est magnifique!
Go Berlin defense!

Hey MSC, what about all variations and systems and whatever? Joke
Just an example of "Morphy in 3.Qf6" 
Maybe sth. to fix?
Is d3 and then d4 a waste of time?

I'm sorry, but I do not understand what you're after.
OK, Let's make a silly question: Why white plays 6.Re1 when Black does not threaten the e4 pawn in any way? It does not make sense to play like that and not 6.c3 at once.
I just answer to Marchess who want to make a Morphy in Smith. Of course, nobody will play that "variation".

IM pfren, it has a name? Frankfurt variation? Oh, I didn't know that...
Helltank, like that? Did I miss something?
Arctor, yeah, I saw some games. Horwitz blundered a lot in one game.
But still I think quite equal position?

Man ! You are black you need to equalize your game You need to take advantage of match ,, but look it makes you too late to develop your minor pieces , giving your opponent to get solid and aggrassive position .. sorry ! I don't like it !

Thanks :) I spoke to him.. and showing my opinion mind your self please ! ^_^
OK, challenge to you all! ;)
If you have just 2 options:
- Smith defence (Ruy Lopez: 3...Qf6)
- Brentano defence (Ruy Lopez: 3...g5)
What would you choose?
Oh, I found one my game with "Smith defence":
I was lucky he played 4. O-O.
