'French: Classical Lines', by Harding and Heidenfeld, Batsford 1979, page 48, has this charming intro to what they call the 'Albin-Chatard Attack.'

" 'As Ogden Nash so wisely observed, candy is dandy but liquor is quicker.,

So one can easily understand that many White players forsake the tacky tuck of the Classical French for the fiery hooch of the Albin-Chatard Attack characterised by the moves...."

This game is in the illustrative games section. Note after 11...Nc6 reads:

"Now White has only one developed piece - a Knight on the poor square c2 and the whole idea of the Albin-Chatard Attack has been negated."

In the history section, page 13, they call it the Albin-Chatard-Alekhine Attack but have dropped Alekhine from the chapter headings.
