A revolutionary new method for black - resulting in such surprise by white that he will often lose track of the game completely.

Anyone ever tried playing like this ?
I gave it a try, here is my first transvetite hippopotamus !
note: the hippopotamus opening is a slow and solid setup : pawns on a3,b3,d3,e3,g3,h3; bishops on b2, g2; knight on d2, e2. Some would call it heavy (though usually not in front of the beast), so i guessed the addition of some feminine touch would give it some grace...

(it's a 1+1 bullet game so don't be too harsh!)
