 :) :) - of course, that must be the idea - I should have known that...:)

 Jokes aside - I think that 2.Na3 is a playable move. With some preparation of
your own - you get the opponent out of book. I haven't looked at this game but
with an early c3 this knight has the option of both c2 and c4. Many high-rated
players are surprisingly weak when they leave the normal tracks.
