As a parody of ''Is this posion legal?" ,chess members will post openings (They have to be real) and members will guess the  name of the opening. Good Luck!! ( I'll start!)

I will give the name after 20 wrong tries.

I actually thought I was wrong. I thought the Fried Fox opened with e4, not d4 even though the result is the same.

On the white side f3 kf2 its called the Hammerschlag.

The reversed sped (special ed) king, or the blithering retard king since black is down a move it's therefore worse for black to set up than white.

Love the hammerschlag, i play it regularly as white along with king's knight opening, for black I play alekhines defence. Any recommendations for a counter to d4 when playing as black, if you take into account the styles of these openings?
