Dec-16-05  Antipholous: Move 5, why not e5? It seems like the knight is dead if that's the case. It's pinned to the queen stopping it from moving to safety and the pawn completely safe from capture.

  Phony Benoni: <5.e5> is the most usual move for White here, but it does not win a piece after <5...h6>:

A lot of analysis and experience has shown White's best idea is probably giving up the pin with 6.Bd2.

If White gets insistent, we could see 6.Bh4 g5 7.exf6 gxh4. Black's pawns look horrible, but the White pawn on f6 can't be held. There's no reason White couldn't try this if in the mood, but it's not considered good; Black has a strong center and good development.
