Is that an official opening name? Lol (I don't see it on chess.com/analysis)

I play that one all the time! You just give away all your pieces in the first five moves

Ximoon

It's been name that way by someone and I don't think anyone challenged that 😁

I believe you also have to say Ho Ho Ho after each move

Why have so many people withdrawn before the tournament starts?
