[Graham Banks]

We need to take care against the threat of a4 followed by either b4 and b5, or by Bb5.
Finding a good plan at this point is crucial. I'm currently looking at Ne4, but need to find a solid follow up after White responds with a4.

We might have to resort to something ugly like 9.....Ne7; 10.a4, a5; 11.Bb5, Qc7;

I'm voting for 9....Ne7 at this stage.
Then if 10.a4, I think that 10....Qc7 could be our best option.
Happy to be proven wrong though.

What if White plays Bd4-g7 and then Nf3-e5. Put us in a lot of
trouble.
