If you are black and play a more solid variant, you’re in for some of the dullest games of your life. It’s the boringest of openings with very little theory and the same positions. I used to do well with it, but it’s dreadful.

Ng5 and that's the tennison gambit
exactly.

Tennison gambit is very bad. Better should be 1.d4 with BDG, but not a good idea neither.
Just play normal chess and take!

Tension is a terrible opening though
absolutely. but its not terribly boring as the Scandinavian

i do play normal moves in longer games but im too used to the tennison to play normal in blitz and bullet.
BDG is not sitting well with me and i lose my lead in development very fast.
The Scandinavian is just the London of black openings. It is not really god though, as white gets a large center and quick development.
