This modern approach to the opening theory originates from and preserves Nimzowitsch-Reti ideas on Hypermodernism in chess: indirect control of the center that doesn't necessary have to be occupied by pawns.
This defense invites white to overextend in the center for futher sharp counter-attacks on the central pawns.
Thank you for your deep and thorough research of this opening! I really enjoyed reading your work! 
I here to sell my new book: "Killer chess openingings: All roads lead to Rome" it is 223 pages of fantastic analysis, and in this book I show you how to win a game of chess against the best of the best, using my new system as black: 'the roaming knights openining'.
the mainline position of the RKO (Roaming knights Opening) is this position:
Now, it might seem a little crazy at first but I assure you that it is perfectly playable; It is a hyper-hyper modern opening where we encourage white to overexpand with useless pawn moves and then bam! we kick thier arse.
In the book, I analyze, 25 games, and I post just one here as a little taster: as you can see from the quality of my comments the is a great book which is a must-have for any half decent chess library.
Okay, in this game white is a solid 1900 player, (he used to be a master, but old age and incompetance has unfortunatly got the better of him), and in this game we shall see many of the thematic themes of the RKO.
So what can we learn about the roaming knight opening from this game? Well, ignoring the poor endgame play from both sides we can see that my book is totally awesome. We can also see how overexpansion is bad for white, and how easily and how devasting blacks knight outposts can be.
