The '''Fred Defence''', also known as the '''Duras Gambit''', '''From Reversed''', or '''Tier's Counter-gambit''', is a dubious [[chess opening]] characterised by the moves: |

The Fred Defence is classified in [[Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings|ECO]] as B00. ECO gives this continuation: |

with a definite advantage for White. |

It is widely regarded as an exceptionally poor response to 1. e4 and is very rarely played. According to [[Chessmaster]], the Fred Defence "should be dead.", and Graham Burgess states that the Fred is "suicidal". Remarkably, however, in the eight games in the chessgames.com database, White won 5 and Black won 3. 3 of the games are from some sort of exhibition match, between [[International Grandmaster|grandmasters]] [[Ossip Bernstein]], who played White, and [[Oldrich Duras]], who played Black, which ended +1 =1 -1. In all of the games, after 2.exf5, Duras played 2...Nf6 and followed up with ...e5 a few moves later, allowing White to remain a pawn ahead after fxe6. |

Every year on Chaitra Shukal Badi Teras (according to [[Vikram Samvat]]), a big fair is organised for two days. |

With careful play, White can often gain a substantial advantage by simply playing defensively and not attempting any mating attacks until the late [[Chess middlegame|middlegame]]/early [[Chess endgame|endgame]]. White is often correct to castle queenside to avoid Black's kingside development. |

Since this fair is organised after [[Holi]] festival a large number of Holi dancers attend this fair in his conventional and fancy dresses. More then one lacs devotee participates in this fair. |
