While I never read about this before, the idea is anything but "new". From my teenage on, I had time and again met weak players who try to avoid "book" openings by means of this very setup:e7-e6-Ne7-Nd7-Ng6 etc. The author is right to claim that this opening setup is not easy to attack- that is, not easy to easily attack. As the positional defects of the "defense system" are so big (main problem is the poor position and inexistent coordination of both knights), any fairly strong player has a comfortable day playing against the system- yet it is also necessary to be a good player to do something useful with that big positional advantage, this is the point. The "defense system" is playable- among patzers. Telmo
