Interesting! I have never faced that.

Not surprising as I never play d4. Its a novel response, is it played often?

I was planning on taking it up but decided against it. I don't think it's that common, but it generally transposes right into a Pirc Defense.

I think 1. e4 ... is enough to keep anyone studying for a lifetime. I'll stick with that move. It's the best by test.

I thought it was called the Wade Defence. That's what Wikipedia says.

No! I know Bob Wade. He'd never play anything that crap!

Edit: Wrong thread - thought I was talking about 1.c3 again!
