Warnig to the very few adherents of Owen's Defence
Sadly in his new book "1.d4 - Ratgeber gegen Unorthodoxe Verteidigungen" Bronznik recommends one of the most ambitious and dangerous lines against our marginal defence.

1...b6 can't take it seriously
I can't take this opening seriously and therefore I haven't learnt anything concrete against it yet. What is considered to be the best line for white? Btw what is this defence called?

In the position after 1 e4 b6 2 d4 Bb7 3 Bd3 Nf6 4 Nc3, late one night after -- honest! -- only a couple of drinks, I began to wonder about the rather bizarre 4 ...b5!?. There seems to be no obvious r...
