Complete innovation on move 8 in the 2...Nf6 line?!  This one I found using stockfish, and am currently using in a Centaur chess tournmanent.  No record of it on 365chess, though I have a much larger database I should check it against.

1. e4 c5 2. c3 Nf6 3. e5 Nd5 4. d4 cxd4 5. Nf3 Nc6 6. Bc4 Nb6 7. Bb3 d6 and now 8.Qe2!? is the presumptive TN.

Black dare not accept the *second* pawn as he is at a marked disadvantage after e.g. 8...dxc3 9.exd6 cxb2? (instead of 9...e6)  10.Bxb2

That is all.  Carry on   Grin
