I have been playing the Parham Attack against 1...e5

It should be the Gnohmon Counterattack; Gnohmon because I invented
[1] it in 1957 when I was 12 years old (of course, I was not the
first to invent it, but who's Parham, either?); counterattack because
Black plays it. So the name you give it is wrong twice.

1. e4 e5
2. Qh5 Nc6

Did you know that 2...d6 3 Bc4 Nh6 is playable bacause if 4 d4?!
Bc8-g4!

Even in a stupid beginners' opening like this -- oops, I mean, even in
the dreaded Gnohmon Counterattack, there are often amazing depths to
chess.

[1] I also invented the invisible smiley, the only smiley approved for
use in afu.
