      Lemming Defence

      1...Na6

      The Lemming Defense is considered a weak response to the King's Pawn Opening, as it develops the Knight to an inferior square, allows White quick and easy development, and opens no lines for developing Black's pieces. Therefore, the Lemming Defense is very uncommon.
