if you look to statistics, black won more games than white, in all variations

Yes, I don't particularly like it.

Perhaps, in case anyone is wondering, I should point out LSB = Light Squared Bishop and DSB = Dark Squared Bishop. The author also uses WT = white

OK, sorry I thought it was pretty self explanatory. I'll explain that in any future annotations.

anyway, this construction is very passive -- white must play b3 rapidly

I don't see this as too bad.

i actually think black is a tiny bit better here he has more open pieces his dsb is only blocked at the moment his lsd has a 5 square attack d=radius at the moment his queen has a 3 square, but white's q and lsd have 1 and 0 squares respectablly.

True, hard to make anything from these minuscule advantages yet though.

yes but while black is developing pieces white is moving pawns, 4 in a row at the moment.

Good observation, I hadn't noticed it.

yes this is a good move, even if white have not developped fully.

Thanks, but not really, pretty simple logic behind it.

this is not a problem there, as black fully controls f5

Yes, it can become a pest in the future however.

I would disagree. White is cramped and black controls the center ad is more developed. I'd give a slight edge to black here.

Yes, I was probably wrong in that statement. You are right, I am better here.

i agree but from the beginning, white are strategically lost
