chessgid=1399647&move=2&moves=e4.h6The Carr Defense, also known as the Krezie Defense, is a dubious chess opening characterized by the moves:
*1. e4 h6?!
Carr Defense is generally considered a weak response to the
King's Pawn Opening , and so is classified under the code B00 in theEncyclopaedia of Chess Openings , along with other unorthodox replies to 1. e4. It is uncommon to see Carr's Defense in serious chess, althoughMichael Basman currently uses Carr's Defense, along with theClemenz Opening , with decent success.Named Variations
Carr's Defense has only one named variation, known as the Zilbermints Gambit. It continues:
*2. d4 e5
