I agree. I don't like how white dispenses with one of his main ways to target the center, namely an early c4. It just seems like he has to waste time re-routing the c3 knight. But to each their own. Hey, some people like the Bongcloud opening.
I think I agree that the knight blocking in the c-pawn is the main weakness of Mark's Opening. (There's nothing to stop white castling queenside and playing e4, possibly supported by f3 though.)
As for the main strengths of Mark's Opening, I'd say they're fast piece development, and control of the centre.
It's called an "Attack" ?....isn't that kinda stretching it ?
