Maybe 1.f4 might work.

Hi Bart, It seems Jan Krabbenbos is too busy. Hans van der Zijden replaced Jan to conduct the tournament. May...

Well, the server source was not even on the machine. Re-installing Cygwin is what I finally did, as AVG apparently not only deleted mintty.exe (which I could download from somewhere) but also bash.exe. Unfortunately this had the side effect it also upgraded gcc from version 3.3.4 to 5.3.0. And this...
