A list of chess opening names which can be spelled out using only pawn moves.
Example: the 'cabbage' opening is characterized by moving the c-pawn, then the a-pawn, then the b-pawn, etc.
This list could be expanded by allowing 'k', 'r', 'n', and 'q' as possibilities after the necessary pawns have been moved. It would also make sense to limit the number of each letter that can be used, since it's rare that your opponent lets you move the same pawn more than three times in the opening (especially a center pawn). However, this would take a lot of time and I don't want to do it.
