The Drunken Knight Opening
1 Nh3
If 1 Na3 is The Sodium Attack, it would be reasonable to expect that the mirror move – 1 Nh3 – is, correspondingly, The Ammonium Attack.
Alas, nothing in chess is expected. For some reason it is known as the Drunken Knight Opening.
Also called the Amar opening by Tartakower after Parisian amateur Charles Amar in the 1930s, this opening is as questionable as the Sodium as it does nothing to promote white's board position in any major way. It has been joked by chess author Tim Harding that "Amar" is an acronym for "Absolutely mad and ridiculous".
Carlen, being Carlsen, defeated GM Dreev in 2018 with this opening in Rapid.
