1...Na6, called the Lemming Defense in Unorthodox Chess Openings, develops the knight to an inferior square. The line has been suggested against some older computers, hoping for 2.Bxa6 bxa6, when Black has the bishop pair and a quick Fianchetto as compensation for the doubled pawns. However, Black has no justification for playing 1...Na6 if White avoids this line.

I assume that the point in this is a defense against Nc7 later in the game? I have often moved my knight into that square to protect against the king/rook fork but I never considered it as an opening.

I'm pretty sure the point of this is to have white's pawns chase around black's knight and get out of position and easy to attack later.

This opening doesn't seem very good for black. Is there any follow for black that lets him either gain or equilize the advantage?
