Hello… I have made a quick opening study and it’s what I found…
Black gives a pawn in exchange of easy development of his pieces with a lot of attack chances (more specifically, traps).
Any unaware player will have issues while dealing with it… Just stay defensive and black’s attack will eventually fall apart. In the end, white will have an extra pawn and a better pawn structure.

Thanks.
