Named Variations
There are several named variations in the Amar Opening. The most well known one is known as the Paris Gambit: 1. Nh3 d5 2. g3 e5 3. f4? Bxh3 4. Bxh3 exf4 In the Paris Gambit, White allows Black a firm grip on the center, and also gives up material. Therefore, the gambit is considered extremely dubious. The only named variation in the Paris Gambit is known as the Grant Gambit: 5. 0-0 fxg3 6. hxg3. This variation was first played by Savielly Tartakower against Andor Lilienthal in Paris, 1933.
There is also one named variation in the 1... e5 variation, known as the Krazy Kat. 1. Nh3 e5 2. f3 d5 3. Nf2

Famous quotes containing the words named and/or variations:
“They named it Ovation from the Latin ovis [a sheep].”
—Plutarch (46–120)
“I may be able to spot arrowheads on the desert but a refrigerator is a jungle in which I am easily lost. My wife, however, will unerringly point out that the cheese or the leftover roast is hiding right in front of my eyes. Hundreds of such experiences convince me that men and women often inhabit quite different visual worlds. These are differences which cannot be attributed to variations in visual acuity. Man and women simply have learned to use their eyes in very different ways.”
—Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
