Most games that went the nb4 line saw white play Qe4 to avoid the fork, not a3 forcing the fork. Black loses the Nd5, to even the pieces back up, then wins the R on a1. Black now has to try to extricate the knight or it isn't going to be an easy win, but black also has to untangle the center and develop. Doing both is something I wanted to put off until we analyze the other lines first. :)
