It is an attack that is played in the Semi-Classical Pirc. At first glance, it bears semblence to some sort of Spike Attack. Usually, 6.g5 is played next, forcing the Knight to move to d7. White will sometimes even push the h-pawn and f-pawn to assist their comrade on the frontline. Black has to remain pretty cautious or the game could end very quickly:

(Liu Wenzhe vs Jan Hein Donner: “The Chinese Immortal” 1-0)What are your thoughts on this attack? Which side would you prefer to play? Thanks in advance! =D
