Napoleon Opening is named after the French general and emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, who had a deep love of chess but was said to be a mediocre player. ... The name may also be a slighting reference to Napoleon's empress, Josephine and her scandalous infidelities, hence Napoleon's inability to keep his Queen at home.
