Re: 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Qe7

In "Chess Openings for Black, Explained", GM Alburt,
GM Dzindzichashvili, and IM Perelshteyn suggest that
Black play 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Qe7 as an "offbeat but sound"
alternative to their main recommendation of the Sicilian
Accelerated Dragon. The authors write that "there is no
way to refute this opening", referring to 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Qe7,
and imply that GM Kupreichik has advocated it.

According to ChessBase, GM Kupreichik has played
1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Qe7 as Black only once, drawing with
it in a 1971 USSR Championship Semifinal game.

According to ChessBase, GM Sulskis has played
1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Qe7 as Black twice, scoring 1-1.

At the 2004 FIDE World Championship, GM Radjabov
played 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Qe7 as Black against GM Adams.
Adams-Radjabov began as 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Qe7 3 Nc3 c6
4 d4 d6 5 Bc4 Bg4 (tranposing to a Philidor Defence)
and ended in a draw.

Does 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Qe7 have an independent name
as a chess opening?

I think it's called "crap."

You should know. You are the Crap Meister.

Ray is the same guy who recommends, as Black, after the opening moves
1.e4 e6 2.f4?!, the sequence 2...Qh4+ 3. g3 Qd8. Losing TWO tempii in
the opening for NOTHING. And yet he thinks he is competent enough to
pass judgment on a defense used by a super-GM like Radjabov. Wake up,
dumbass.
