Crab Variation
[edit | edit source]This variation does nothing to aid White's development and weakens their position, and thus is not recommended for serious play. It is named due to its crab-like appearance, with the a and h pawns presumably representing claws. It does have one upside, however, preventing 2...Qh4.
