KP - Patzer Opening

The Patzer Opening arises after 1.e4 e5 2.Qh5. ECO code: C20.

An early queen sortie aiming for the Scholar's Mate (Qxf7# ). While it can trap beginners, the queen is easily driven back with ...Nc6, ...g6, or ...Nf6, gaining tempo. Named "Patzer" (German slang for a weak player), the opening is considered unsound against any prepared opponent.
