I have been trying this opening out on some Engines in Chessmaster, and I find it can lead to some very bad results for me very quickly. I know some GMs seem to like London openings, but maybe it's not for under 1000 players. I tend to do much better with some more generic openings not strictly following Bf4 and Nf3. Which is puzzling as those pieces can start off with relatively little threat.
I suppose it's because I'm not a strong player to begin with, and maybe not developing properly, but I'm curious what some better players feel about this opening and how study worthy it is. I sort of feel like I'm banging my head against a wall with it, but it remains intriguing because it does get strong pieces out there seemingly without a lot of danger initially.
