Lot of general chit chat about this line but as yet no  hard coverage.

So  let start at the begining is whites best line to take the pawn or should he decline the gambit by say Bg5

So you can have a Blumenfeld (E10) via A57.
Noone said the ECO code system was easy!

My Daring Defences section has the most complicated set of codes so even I have to check them from time to time.

Yes the Blumenfeld is covered by the 'Daring Defences site.
This is logical as you can consider it as a Benko where 4 Nf3 is met by 4...e6.

The Blumenfeld, ECO code E10, is indeed covered under "Daring Defenses", although IIRC the last time it had an update was in 2002 by Jon Tisdall. Anyway, there are around 35 0r 40 annotated games that can be downloaded with ChessPub.

Hmmm, my browser doesn't display the codes,  Perhaps my version is too old or I can't display Java.  Dangit  Sad

If you're using Internet Explorer and you're on the main page, when you highlight the links for each section on the left, look at the bottom of the screen.  The part of the screen that shows how far pages are loaded displays the ECO codes, thanks to our friend HTML (or maybe it's Javascript?).

ECO codes are there, just gotta pay attention  Undecided

4...b5, right?  This question highlights the point I brought up earlier.  Why isn't there a list stating exactly which ECO codes are associated with each section?  If such a list exists I haven't been able to find it.  The list of ebooks is helpful but not inclusive.

I would suppose so, it's more daring than the Benko which is covered here...

Thanks
