Originally posted by sundown316I don't think there is a name for it other than calling it a kings pawn opening. Maybe it's to allow white to quickly castle queenside and attack blacks kingside with the black square bishop. Other than that I don't see what puropse it serves... it appears to be a weak opening move.
I've been seeing this a lot lately when I play Black. Anybody know if this has a name?

The Bednikova Opening, according to one site (https://sites.google.com/site/chesslines/forblack/1_e4/1_e5/2_b3). Presumably after Stefi Bednikova, who has played it at least once.
Lots of quick losses for White in Bill Wall's "Chess Traps and Miniatures" collection:

You asked the same question back in October.
How many times are you meeting this opening?
Who is playing it? Let me know, I want to post another brilliancy.
