Is it for Beginners or not?

It's so much underrated but one of my favorite openings with white. GothamChess made a video on this maybe it can help you. And yes it is good for beginners but not at high levels.

its mostly a for tricks opening. Once black learns the trick and prepares agaisnt you ,they should be a little bit better.

objectively once black understands this sequence, white's best line is objectively:

engine says 0.00 but come on, this is depressing for the white side.
