this kind of opening works very well in forcing a scholar's mate. However, any experienced player would be able to recuperate from this assault easily.

Ne4 and e6 are main moves

with Ne4 black wants to play d5 and try to keep his N in the center

It can transpose into the Torre attack as long as black plays Nf6 & e6 after either white playing 1.d4, 2.Bg5, 3.Nf3 or 1.d4, 2.Nf3, 3.Bg5. h6 does not negate the trompowsky as it is utilized in mind that the may have to exchange the bishop. A common response is h6 and the exchange still leaves white with good chances.

Many times black plays Ne4 and white withdraws Bf4. In the openings, that I use, white does Bf4 first, turning into London System (1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 d5 3.Bf4).

btw Torre attack is 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 e6 3.Bg5 very different from Trompowsky Attack.

An opening trap in Torre Attack also on YouTube, search for keywords:

i think Ne4 is usually played in my experience. Although of course depends on people.

Doesn't h6 negate this opening?

well ive been using this opening, and i wonder trompowsky is much sharp move than torre attack, cause it's very aggresive, and i like this opening and to explore every details of this opening,

No, Torre attack is 2. Nf3 i think.  It can transpose into the Torre.
