Devil's Den on Fyfield Down.

"I’m not trying to overblow it. I don’t think we lost the Library of Alexandria when Elon bought Twitter to ruin it. But we have lost the bathroom where everyone went to smoke in the Library of Alexandria." --@lolgop

I see Lonsdale wrote a whole pamphlet on the Saragossa 1c3 opening with 2Qc2. I think we can all agree it deserves to be called the "Lonsdale". (Full disclosure: i would play 1c3 & then after 1...Nf6, 2Qc2; or 1...e5 & after 2...d5, 3Na3.)

"Overlaying creepers
Grow thickly on this house,
So desolate,
Folk nowhere to be seen
With the coming of autumn."

--Egyō

Several more named variations in this link. See what happens when i walk away from an opening?
