"This line as yet has no official name (except "Zaitsev line with 8 Bc4"). It is generally referred to as simply "The Hack Line", or for reasons which are rather obscure, the "The Nescafé® Frappé Attack" (or NFA for short).

The years have not been kind to the NFA and the current verdict is "flat white". Nowadays only Simon Williams and a few maverick cavemen seem to like the taste. Still, it’s well worth a punt, a pint and a pun in blitz/rapid games, as some strong players know to their cost." (Graham Burgess)
