The opening is garbage. You are basically playing Black with the extra move h3, which is rarely good in the French Defense as you often need to break with the f-pawn, and now f3 will severely weaken g3.
Also, 5.Ne2 is trash. Pressure d5 with Qb3 and Nc3, but again, the "extra" move of h3 is actually to White's detriment!
Worthless Opening - Case Closed!
I have recently become really interested in the clemenz opening. I know it is not the best opening but their are other openings that people play that lead to worse positions for white. I found that there is a line that is best that is played most commonly.
This is the position i end up with most of the time.
that is a position i end up with frequently. Anyone else have any lines they get when you play clemenz opening.
