As you can see, white has no losses in the database with this opening. Instead, white has a 60% winning chance with no chance of losing at all! No master has ever beaten this opening as black according to the database. It stands to reason this is definitely better than the Queen's Gambit, English, etc.

I did use this opening quite a lot in the last year and I'm still using it.  I love how it works.  No, it's not foolproof, though.  But it does lull your opponent into a false sense of Security.

It's a feint in Chess.

It's called the Sodium Attack because Na3 looks like Na (chemical name for Sodium). And no, I didn't figure this out myself. ☺

From Wikipedia: "The name "Sodium Attack" comes from the algebraic notation 1. Na3, as Na is the chemical symbol for the element sodium."

Stupid. Not only have you wasted a move where you could have opened it up for your queen or the left bishop, you've put yourself to the edges of the board.

I would not prefer this opening, as your just placing a knight on the edge of the board.  If I was White, my first move would be e4 or d4.  If I was black, my first move would be c5.

I don't quite like this opening. You're immediately putting a knight on the frame of the board and missing out on developing pawns and A rank piece. (Queen, Bishop[which inturn stops you from castling!].)
