I just discovered this opening and was shocked by how easy and strong it is. Here's the bullet game I played using it(I play bullet only to test openings) and completely destroyed that guy. 

I literally premoved first ten moves and spent less than a second on all others and got only 2 mistakes and 1 blunder. I looked it up on lichess database. If you play it as white it's 50-55% win rate(less than kings indian attack though) but with black it goes full 60%!!! I learned it literally in 3 minutes. Maybe I should abandon all that e4 and caro theory and play this instead? I can't believe that a no-name opening system can be that good. I refuse to believe.

Your was more excellent. You just came and decided to unleash your ego by writing a lower rated player that you are better.

Not sure the bishop is well placed on d3.

It was a bullet game, I thought my pawn was hanging. The correct placement for the bishop is e2 here.

Well considering you’re literally just playing a Reversed Lion Defense (1. e4 d6 2. d4 Nf6 3. Nf3 Nd7) with the same plans and everything, it can’t be that bad, as the Lion’s only weakness is that Black doesn’t really have the time or space to develop properly, so this is probably actually pretty good.
