This opening is great only if you have white and love defense.

Generally, in chess, some people sometimes win with the black pieces.  Similarly, some people sometimes win despite throwing away their opportunity to make a good first move with the white pieces.  That's why people will rationalize ANY first move with white.  Espeically if it's given an exotic opening name.

I play this opening almost exclusively, and follow it up with 2.c4 It allows me to play the Sicilian defense or the Benko as White, meaning I only have to learn openings for Black.

 

I'd take less work studying openings over theoretical advantage any day of the week.

if your plan is to play c3 to back up d4, a good player would start with d4 since there is nothing opposing it. hell back up with c3 later if he needs to. the point is to maintain flexibility
