There has already been a thread on this, which mentioned a recent book by Eingorn, which showed a few of his ideas. Could search for it. 
         Think there was a game by Adams against maybe Sokolov which showed one critical line.

1...e6 2.c4 Bb4 - opinions?

Recently I noticed that the variation 1...e6 2.c4 and now 2...Bb4 has been played a number of times by GM Eingorn, with good results. 

Compared to the Bogo-Indian, who has benefited more from the postponed development of both sides' king's knights? I noticed that after 3.Bd2 a5 White has extra options such as 4.Nc3 and 4.e4, but Black also has extra options such as ...d5, ...f5 or even ...Ne7. And Black can always play ...d6 and ...e5 as in a standard Bogo-Indian.
