I don´t agree. 4.Nf3 is a very popular move. After Bg4 you have to either leave
white the Bishop pair without compensation or much more space (after 5.h3 Bh5
6.g4).
The line is not very popular anymore in human chess and it was least of all a
good idea to play it in a WCCC tourney. Almost all programs clearly favour
white.
You should have prepared at least 4...g6. A Pirc defence with Nf3.
