What do you think of this opening? I tried it and I like it because when white plays Nxd4 I think that the knight is now on a bad square. It's better on f3. There seems to be good possibilities with this opening.

its ok, but nothing more. black has enough resources to only be a little worse.

early c5 however is just dumb. black gets a backward d6 pawn and a gaping whole on d5 for....nothing.
