        It’s a decently strong opening that doesn’t require much thought. You can play it against damn near any of blacks openings, and generally leads to a strong position, but people like to dog on it since it’s a bit “braindead”. Gets played even at GM level tho

        It is common, some chess celebs don’t like it, but not because it is bad strategy.
