Jan-25-07    plang: In all the opening books I have 5 dc is the only response mentioned. Is 5 Nf3 unplayable? After 5..Nc6 6 e3 whites position looks solid. I would think it should at least be mentioned as an attempt to avoid mainline theory. Sep-07-07    plang: ...oe 5 e3 also looks perfectly playable. Sep-19-08    refutor: i wonder if morozevich's idea v. ponomariov (1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.Qc2 O-O 5.Nf3 c5 6.dxc5 Na6 7.c6?!) in Morozevich vs Ponomariov, 2008 would work after 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.Qc2 c5 5.dxc5 Na6 (6.c6?!) any masters who use this idea and are annotating their victory, remember it's "refutor" with an "r" :)
