I've been playing this opening in some games recently and have had pretty good results as White either gets too aggressive against the King side or weakens it's own kingside by attempting to protect the extra pawn.

Has anyone else had success with this opening and is there an official name for it (haven't seen anything).

I posted something about this rather recently - if you like it I'm sure you can do ok with it.

Fred Defense. I made a thread about this called "The Fred should be dead". However, no one has posted anything on it for a while. 🙁
