Maybe I am just an old fashioned, grumpy man, but moves like 2.c3 and 6.Na3 do not look very much attacking to me.
  

The book had the effect good books usually have: it made the stupids more stupid, the intelligent more intelligent and the other thousands of readers remained unchanged.

Sam Collins in "An Attacking Reperoire for White" suggests 5 Nf3; Bg7 6. Na3! ( Pavasovic -Movsesian  Croatian team Championship 2003). White is slighty better.

What is the current opinion of 1.e4 c5 2.c3 d5 3.exd5 Qxd5 4.d4 g6 ?

It seems a good way for Black to unbalance the position and play for a win, provided he survives White's initiative first.  This line should be more popular. Is it under any theoretical trouble that I don't know about?

Does Collins have anything to say about this line in his Attacking Repertoire for White book?
