Mark's Opening

That's just the beginning of a london system.
No its not he played 2.Nc3

Misread. That's just a line of the versov then.

I do not believe there is an opening called Marks Opening? I believe you made this opening up.
There is an opening called the Queen Pawn Opening/Veresov Opening
However, It has the following moves
1. d4 Nf6
2. Nc3 d5
3. Bg5
The idea of the line was to have like a Queen Pawn, Ruy Lopez type of position. However, It isn't as effective as the normal Ruy Lopez which is seen in the Kings Pawn Opening.
The reason why is becuase in the Kings Pawn Opening after 3.Bb5 black can't play moves like f6 becuase his king will be open to checks.
In the Queens Pawn Opening after 3.Bg5 black can play moves like c6 just adding support to the pawn. His king isn't over there. So he has no big deal and its hard to add more pressure on the pawn.

No,the london system is you place the knight on f3. you weirdo.
If you actually read more than your own messages, you'd see that I corrected myself.

There's a Chessopedia article on it for those unfamiliar with it.
What do you think are the main strengths and weaknesses of it?

Well, kind of. It was me who invented Mark's Opening.

After e6 White has little better than to play e4 and head to the French. Unless the whole point of the opening is to hope for a mistaken Nc6 and then after Nb5 hit the sore c7 square. That's a lot of hope for nothing.
The grandmaster, Eric Hansen has said Mark's Opening is OK.
With regards to the Veresov Attack, I think playing Bf4 on the 3rd move is better than Bg5 because it does more to control the centre.

It seems like you are to late someone already named the opening before you.

2.c4 does even more to control the center.
Yes but then it's the Queens gambit, not Mark's Opening.
