Sam,

Before you jump to conclusions, there are others:
Hungarian Defense, Mexican Defense, Czech Benoni and Czech
Variation of the
Slav, Irish Gambit, Icelandic Variation (Scandinavian), Norwegian
Variation
(Ruy Lopez)

Interesting. I included the Hungarian Defense.

The that the one where Laslo locks the doors to keep you away from his
family? :-)

You apparently
overlooked that. I am not familiar with the others. I seem to think
there is an Austrian Attack, but I am not sure, so I left it out.

The Austrian Attack is a line of the Pirc Defense, distinguished by
4.f4 after 1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 g6. There is also an Austrian
Defense, 1.d4 d5 2.c4 c5.

I did not want to get into cities as there are too many: Vienna
Opening, Budapest Defense, Belgrade Gambit, Cambridge Springs
Variation.
