sodium attack anybody?

I feel like I played well in this game. My ending was sloppy due to time pressure, but I got there. I enjoyed having two forward knights in the middle game.

Does anybody play the sodium attack? Any favorite games with this opening? Any advice is appreciated.

At 14, I was really worried about the threat of: 14)...Nxf3, 15)Qxf3, Bxc3!+ Bishop sacrifice check with discovered Rook threat on my Queen. I was relieved when black went for the straightforward bishop exchange 14)...Rxc8 . This got the rook off of the f file and gave me time to castle
You played nicely. Not sure why you moved nc2
without being provoked to move it, and not sure
why you would want to trade off your white-squared
bishop (seems like that's black's goal). I like
the way you moved your knights in general.
@premuter I don't think I can give any advice but I liked playing the sodium attack a lot three months ago, I think I have some cool games:

I really liked this opening, I'll go back to it at some point :).
@noobforlife I may have to adopt this opening it looks fun. It seems blacks best response to the sodium is with the e5 d5 and getting nf6 short after . the e5 pawn cannot be taken by bishop unless knight moves. It seems like a good way to get out of book and play chess.
Look who also plays the sodium attack:
