5...Qb6

[edit | edit source]

Here Black has built up quite some pressure on White's d4-pawn, luckily there are still enough defenders.

White has several options. They can:

  1. Prepare a gambit by playing 6. Bd3.
  2. Develop their pieces, but without the intention of sacrificing a pawn (6. Be2).
  3. Prepare an expansion on the queenside (6. a3).
