The Lemming Defense is a dubious chess opening characterized by the moves:
- 1. e4 Na6?!
The Lemming Defense is considered a weak response to the King's Pawn Opening, as it develops the Knight to an inferior square (much like the Durkin Opening and Adams Defense), allows White quick and easy development, and opens no lines for developing Black's pieces. Therefore, the Lemming Defense is very uncommon, and is classified as B00 in the Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings.
