@very-rusty saidThe OP was probably in refernce (though not given) to a Tournament on "Gedults attack (which would be A45: Gedult attack 1. d4 Nf6 2. f3 d5 3. g4). In fact 365Chess.com lists 1. f3 as gedults attack, while the Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings (ECO9 has 1. f3 as Barnes Opening)

Thanks.
1 .... f3 would have been a stretch !
Although, Morphy was known to offer "pawn and move".
1 .... f3 would have fit the bill.
