[edit] Parham Attack
[edit] 2. Qh5
This move violates one of the main principles in chess by developing the queen too early. As the e5 pawn is under attack, Black must defend it with 2...Nc6.
Note that this position allows one of the quickest possible mates for White if Black plays 2...Ke7 (3. Qxe5#).
