I must admit I'm still a bit torn about the name of this one; the acronym is oddly pleasingly pronounceable, but I'm quite wary of this kind of ‘name‐without‐naming’ — it's a bit like starting a conversation with “what shall we talk about” in that it doesn't really provide any information…

The 1. e2 opening seems to have a couple of plausible defenses after all (at least on a slightly‐less‐cursory look) so I won't worry about it too much
