I have no idea what a good move would be. but the coors light I'm drinking says b6 or b5 would be bad.

my normal, bad chess playing self would do d6

Bc5 - controls d4, develops a piece, and allows us to castle

holla

If we do this, White's next move can be Nc3, which locks down the e4 and (especially) d5 squares. This will be pretty uncomfortable. He even has the option of establishing the Maroczy Bind at some point with e4, making it near impossible for us to ever play d5. We need to strike back on the light squares immediately, with either d5 or c6. I prefer the preparatory move c6, which also scores best in this database.

Yes, that is bad [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

That would just hem in our dark squared bishop, waste a move (there's no point letting out our light squared bishop since it's currently pinned to the defense of the b7 pawn) and cede total control of the h1-a8 diagonal to White.

The battleground right now is the central light squares. Nothing else is hugely important right at the moment.
