Or was it on the spot creativity? I try but can't find any tricks, traps or equality for black.

That's an awful lot of hopes for specific moves. Am I correct that it's an unsound move? Did I reply with the best response?
Originally posted by greenpawn34I don't know about that... Why is this position so good for white? Sickfish gives black +0.76 after 13 minutes of thinking. I've played through its mainline and it looks pretty sensible (at least the first part of it -- I get lost later). Here it is:
And I'd take that position Over the Board against anyone. Sickfish should stick to what it is was designed for, processing bookings for an airline company (that is what Deep Blue is doing these days.)[/b]
Originally posted by Paul LeggettSo yeah, following the example of the second game in that worked out for me. Ironically since I've made this thread two more people used it against me, and I used to never see that opening.
Here is the earliest game I could find, with Chessbase classifying it under "The Hungarian Defense and Guicco Pianissimo".
Since the original game seems to be from New Zealand, perhaps we should dub it the "New Zealand Defense" or the "Kiwi Variation" or something else to pay tribute to its origin.
EDIT: Whoops, it may already have a name...
