There is this story that the great chess composer and puzzle inventor Samuel Loyd was once challenged by someone who thought that he could easily draw as Black by just copying White's moves. Guess how the game went.

@ FM Schemato, adhere to dogma get you mated, one the most funnies move ever played 3.Qh3 by a strong player; if Loyd's opponent had ounce of common sense he woulofd capture the 3...Bxh3.
