Possible continuations are
This is the data in ChessBase

Move------Occurs------Win%------LastYearplayed------AverageELO
5.Nf3------2005--------55%-------2017----------------2229
5.Nh3------640---------57%-------2017----------------2302
5.Nc3------580---------53%-------2017----------------2000
5.Qc2------259---------59%-------2017----------------2371
5.Nd2------161---------64%-------2017----------------2385
5.d5--------26---------58%-------2017------[----------2319

This was copied manually ChessBase would rather you buy this expensive piece of software than use it as I am. I've eliminated moves not played recently, low winning % or average elo is too low.

My vote is also 5.Nf3
So far it's unanimous.

My speculative move for Black.

After White's 5. Nf3, the possible Black moves are 5....d5, ....Be7 or ...Bb4. Then, White as well as Black can castle on king side.
We have to speculate the moves of our opponent so that we can be prepared and or counterattack.

black's possible continuations as found in ChessBase along with any instructive games I may find. this will be later today.

Blacks 5th move
From here there are 2 plausible moves that black may play:

5...d5 The most often played
5...Be7 Not nearly as popular but has a good winning %

Other moves are not nearly as popular and have low average ELOs.

On the last move
I did not agree with Nf3 because I favored Nd2,
so rather than go against the majority, I chose
to abstain..

My reason was not wanting to give away our pawn
on c3, although I believe the f3 move is second
best in my opinion.

thanks easy
I figured you had your reasons...
Cut the cable Martin..
I use my cell phone data all day long. The bill is high and I'm looking for a new cell carrier, 4 phones for $100/month including the starter android phones. After a month you can switch over to your unlocked i-phones or better androids,
I have not followed BC and her postponements, how long is she away?

I AM BACK UP!
I just woke up and I tried to get on and everything is working. So I guess the technicians found the problem. I will post here soon.

I agree I vote 6.Bf4
5...d5 was played please monitor the NA vs RoW thread. i am sorry that I did not post the position here but I think all of you are aware of the problems that I have been having.

6.Bf4 does not occur very often in top level master play but it appears best and it gets my vote.

My analysis
of the current position will be posted later today but probably in the small hours of the morning. As some of you know I have been very busy with other things, I have not been well and my Internet has been down but I think I am better now although my health is still a little iffy.
