Batman strikes again!

What is the value added by 1. Nd6? The knight’s position is very unnatural and the sacrifice is, unlike a hypothetical 1. Nc6, not thematic.
I would prefer the economic version 1. e5 f5+ 2. Kf4 Ne4, without technical pawn on f4.
This study is for the trash bin anyway, regardless of whether or not it is correct.
Why?
Non capisco nemmeno io il motivo!

Right. I remember that we hate it but I forgot why.
a) because of Queens in the intro
b) because the bQ doesn’t move
c) because the idea is too old and primitive
It is incorrect because Garcia thinks so and van der Heijden added thousands of his verdicts and ugly “corrections” into his database. A huge mistake.
As you know, my database is just a part of Heijden’s collection that I am allowed to use. Some mistakes were imported too and I didn’t have time to correct them.
