Since this is an oddball variation, the onus is on you to justify your claims. Why don't you offer up some sample lines and see if we can punch holes in them? To help get you started, you can try looking at just 4...d6 where both 5.Qb3 Nf6 6.Nc3 Qa5 and 5.Bb5 Bd7 6.Nf3 a6 look pretty harmless for Black. 5.Nc3 is a bit better try than the 5.Qb3 and 5.Bb5 moves you favor, but it doesn't look too frightening. > > >I took a quick look at the chess thinkers forum and decided it`s best to post >here.
