A06 Zukertort Opening: Tennison Gambit, Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Trap 1. e4 d5 2. Nf3 dxe4 3. Ng5 Nf6 4. d3 exd3 5. Bxd3 This line has a ridiculous name, but I believe the unusual amount of attention its gotten warrants its inclusion in the database. There is already precedent for ridiculous sounding yet popular openings (The Bongcloud), as well as chess traps (Siberian Trap). ----------Sourcing: (I have followed GM Smirnov in describing this line as a trap rather than as a gambit.)
