Moscow 3...Nd7 4. a4!? The Moscow with 3...Nd7 4. a4!? is quite the trendy variation, but while analyzing it recently I have been surprised by just how strong it is.

e6!? In the 5. c4 Moscow line I like playing the Moscow, but nearly everyone I play is playing a set-up with e6 after 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. Bb5 Bd7 4. Bxd7 Qxd7 5. c4.
