C03:What is the status of the Kiriakov variation ?

1. e4  e6
2. d4  d5
3.Nd2 a6!?

Peter Kiriakov has played this for about 15 years. And he knows this stuff but what is the theoretical status of this line compared to  3...Be7  and 3...c5   3...Nf6  3...Nc6  

There are not any book...theoretical or repertoire book on this interesting line.

"I Often see in chess forums people asking : " What is the current status of that line ?"&&&&Its a good reasonable question,but who can claim that he knows the answer ?!&&&&Semko Semkov Januari 2008
