Is Qb3 the only response to Nb4? What about Qe3+, how do we respond to that (aside from drooling over the forking potential on c2 that we likely will never realize)?
Why is it Na3 instead of Nd4 to protect the c2 square? With our isolated queen's pawn at d5, he wants to park a piece at d4 - and a knight would be great for that.

8. ... Nb4
9. Qe3+ Be7
I'm very concerned with leaving our king open on the efile for any longer than we have to.

Qe3+ forces us to develop our bishop and helps us get one step closer to castling, while accomplishing zippo for white, no? This I'm fairly certain of as early as when I glanced at it last night, but it was 1 am so I could be wrong, but not by much.
