both h3 and Nh3 would be bad. swindling in the opening only works for so long and then you play against someone who knows how to equalize.
1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Nf6 3.h3? both 3...Bc5 and 3...Nc6 look like equalizing moves. also 3...Nxe5 4.Qh5 Qe7/Qf6 look fine for black
Playing wish chess, hoping that the opponent will miss obvious threats, is a surefire way to never improve your game.

Yes, thanks, I understand that.

Point taken. I honestly just tried it because it worked on me, the foolish beginner. 
Oh well, I'll keep trying different things and I promise I won't play "wish chess."

By the way, Tricklev, I was surprised you commented. You're one of the more active members of Chess.com and after seeing you posting on a number of occasions, I looked at your profile. It's obvious you're at a much higher level than I am; hardly the same scale at all.
While chess may seem a very serious thing to you, chess for me is a hobby I enjoy in my free time. I'm a weak player and I certainly want to improve, but part of the fun is experimenting with openings that I noticed and wanted to try. I would certainly never use that opening in a "serious" game, but it was interesting to try it out during a game of Live Chess and see it fail.
I posted this forum topic, partly because I had never posted anything before, and partly because I was confused as to WHY it failed. It may seem obvious to you and you may see me as an ignorant fool, messing with unstable positions with obvious threats, but for me it was simply an opportunity to learn more about chess.
I appreciate your feedback, but I'm afraid you misjudged the sort of person I am. I do not fool around in my chess games, but I do try to enjoy them, not simply for the wonderful intensity and strategic grinding the game presents, but for the possibility that I might try things I haven't before, that are not necessarily the most solid choice of position.
Finally, I'm still a teenager and I'm not looking for a career or anything in chess, so I have plenty of time to improve and understand the sort of things that a strong chess player (and adult!) like you understands. Right now, though, I'm still a novice in the grand world of chess and it's nice to be able to poke around in dark corners where the beasties lie.
Thanks very much,
Leo
Hi everybody,
I wanted to try this opening after having it pulled on me. Normally, I'm skeptical about bringing the queen out early, but I wanted to give it a try, so I played it and it backfired tremendously... Should I change a certain move? (I hate straight up queen exchanges). Or should I forget the opening entirely? Here's what happened.
So, should I keep the opening and play the wiser, 3. Nh3? Or should I abandon the opening?
Thanks!
