Hi everyone,

I'm playing the English according to Tony Kosten's "Dynamic English" for some years now, and I'm still very happy with this great book. Occasionally, playing in the internet, I have to face an interesting fourth move which is not covered by the book:

1. c4 Nf6 2. g3 e5 3. Bg2 Bc5 4. Nc3 c6!?

I'm just an experienced club player (ELO -2000) who likes to stick to what he knows, so I continued 5. e3 O-O 6. Nge2, but after 6... d5 I didn't like my position. So I asked a German IM from a club of my hometown what he thinks about the position after 4... c6, and he came up with 5. e4. 

I looked at this with fritz8 for a while, but once again, after 5... O-O 6. Nge2 d5 7. cxd5 cxd5 8. exd5 Na6, I'm still not happy.

Any suggestions? (Mr. Kosten? )
