In this scenario, I am Black not White. That is why it is called "Agent's Defense" and not, "Agent's Variation."
A new opening- "King's Pawn Opening:MacLeod Attack, Agent's Defense."

Ah, black is playing perfect here.
I think I made a better opening, LOL
I’ll grant that it’s better than the last one, but you’d be hard pressed to find anyone playing the MacLeod Attack, much less with 3.Bd3
It seems much less like a legitimate opening though, and more like an example of how black can punish white for poorly playing the MacLeod Attack, as Black in this is playing quite accurately but white is playing quite poorly. Though it would be good to play if you ever get in such a situation as black

I use it. I like how this defense blocks some development and takes advantage of the Macleod's weak spot by placing black's queen on d5. But there are certainly some weaknesses... this defense allows a knight attack. Otherwise, it's great!
Nice, you force the bishop back. Except for the fact that white will never play Bd3 to protect that pawn, but simply d3.
If you see a problem with my opening, please let me know!
