Well, the definition of whether something is a TN is clearly linked to which database you are using, it is a move not in the database. But it could be in a different one.
May I suggest everybody use the same DB, maybe this one, which is freely available for everyone? Just for the sake of consistency, you know? Or maybe there is a better one somewhere?

1.e4 e5
2. f4 g5
3. fxe5 Nc6
Well, that's certainly a novelty. So far you're winning for the best one.
Yay!
Let the Competition begin!
1.e4 e5
2. f4 g5
3. fxe5 Nc6
It's already started.
Yep, I just wanted to make sure people know.
Should we post our novelties here?
Yep, just post your novelty here.
Conquiscador - how about my Nh7 novelty in the Traxler a while back? :)
Can we claim a certain novelty before displaying our full analysis on it?
Sure
Oh Marvelosity, I claim a novelity in the Traxler as well.
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.Ng5 Bc5 5.Bxf7+ Ke7 6.Bb3 Rf8 7.0-0 d6 8.d3 Bg4 9.Nf3 Nd4 10.Nbd2 Qe8! and black reaches equality. I posted my analysis in my last post in our group forum.
My novelty is 10...Qe8
My novelty is in the Muzio Gambit. e4 e5 f4 exf4 Nf3 g5 Bc4 g4 0-0 gxf3 d4!?
haha! cool post! my novelty is: Fried Liver Attack: Master_In_Panama variation!
7 nxd6 and white is just up a pawn
7 nxd6 and white is just up a pawn
please, first look at the variations!
Here is my novelty with analysis.
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.Ng5 Bc5 5.Bxf7+ Ke7 6.Bb3 Rf8 7.0-0 d6 8.d3 Bg4 9.Nf3 Nd4 10.Nbd2 Qe8!N
Now white has four moves:
A:11.h3
This leads to a forced sequence
11...Qh5 12.c3 (12.hxg4? Nxg4 and white cannot defend black's threats) 12...Nxf3+ 13.Nxf3 Bxf3 14.Qxf3 Qxf3 15.gxf3 Nh5 16.Kg2 Nf4+ 17.Bxf4 Rxf4 18.Rad1 Raf8 19.d4 exd4 20.cxd4 Bb6 21.Rd3 Kf6 22.Re1 Re8 23.Kg3 g5 and white cannnot proceed any further in the endgame.
B: 11.Re1? Qg6! and black has the advantage.
C: 11.Kh1
This move forces black to play very accurately to acheive equality.
11...Qh5 12.c3 Nxf3 13.gxf3 Bh3 14.Rg1 Kd8 15.Rxg7 (15.Nc4 Ne8=) 15...Ne8 16.Rg8 Rxg8 17.Bxg8 Qh4 18.d4 exd4 19.Qg1 Nf6 20.Qg7 dxc3 21.Nb3 cxb2 22.Bxb2 Ne8 and black has a slight advantage.
D: 11.c3 Nxf3+ 12.Nxf3 Qh5 13.d4 (13.Be3 Nd7; 13.Bd2 Nxe4; 13.Bc2 Nxe4; 13.Bc4 Nxe4 14.dxe4 Rxf3; 13.h3 Bxf3 transposes to A) 13...Bb6 14.Qd3 (14.Re1 Nd7=) 14...Bxf3 15.gxf3 Qh3 16.Qd1 (16.dxe5 Ng4!!; 16.Rd1 Nh5; 16.Qe2 Nh5 17.Bg5+ Kd7 18.a4 [18.dxe5 Rxf3 19.e6+ Ke8 20.Bh4 Nf4 21.Qb5+ c6 22.Qg5 Bd8 23.Qxg7 {23.e7 Bb6 leads to a perpetual} 23...Bxh2+ 24.Kxh2 Rh3+ 25.Kg1 Ne2+ perpetual] 18...h6 19.Bd2 Rf4!; 16.Bc2 Nh5 17.dxe5 [17.Bg5+ Kd7 18.Ba4+ Kc8 19.Bg5 h6!] 17...Rxf3 18.cxd6+ Kf8 19.Qe2 Rg3+ perpetual) 16...Nd7 and black has equality.
i'm cooking something up!
Okay, the King's Gambit it is!
Does anyone have any questions regarding the competition?
