About this opening
The Zilbermints Gambit of the Carr Defense (1.e4 h6 2.d4 e5) starts from an already very passive first move (...h6) to attempt a central counter-thrust ...e5. Black tries to open the game and offset the lost time, but the idea stays objectively dubious against sound white development. It is a marginal, provocative line, to be used only for surprise in fast games.
