The Budapest's less respectable cousin. Might just be losing for black but I'm not entirely sure. If engines are allowed, I'm interested.

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4. d3 h6 5. c3 d6 6. Nbd2 g5

Two knights defence, pianissimo invitation, declined. Played by some top gm's like Caruana. Seems to give white an edge, but is it winning?

Smyslov Nimzo-Indian: 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 Bb4+ 4. Bd2 a5 5. a3 Bxd2+ 6. Nbxd2 O-O 7. e3 d6 8. Nb1 b6 9. Nc3 Bb7 10. Bd3

The knight manoeuvre on moves 8 and 9 is unexplored.

I'd like to offer an old Philidor Defence 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d6 as the next thematic tournament.

Let's wait for the current waiting list to finish, then we'll try Fried Liver attack (e4 e5 Nf3 Nc6 Bc4 Nf6 Ng5 d5 exd5 Nxd5), and then we'll try Philidor Defence...

Yes, Philidor is upcoming

Which way to Philidor? Or 1.e4 d6 2.d4 Sf6 3.Sc3 e5 for another thematic tournament?
