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.
The Amazon Attack (d4...Qd3)...what do you think of it? (real opening, not joke)??

What Loyd played exactly? It's easy to give a counterexample in 3 plies

FM Schemato: All right, thank U! My example is quicker but without checkmate, only winning the queen. 
@ 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.
There should be some way to exploit white's premature queen move. I don't much like ideas based on g6 or b6 but after 1. d4 Nf6 2. Qd3 d5 I fancy black to play Nbd7 in a lot of lines with c5 or e5 to follow.
rename it i dont like the name, buy your stuff at your local busnessmans off topic but who cares
The Amazon attack can transposition to different openings AND it takes your opponent by surprise.
My technique is to do a double fianchetto.
