After 3.Nf3, playing in French style with 3...e6 4.d4 d5 5.e5 Nc6 transposes to the Wing Gambit, which in my view is slightly better for Black. 

Instead 3...d5 4.ed5 Qd5 5.c4 bc3 6.Nc3 seems to offer sufficient compensation for the pawn due to White's lead in development and early initiative.

this is an old thread with an unsolved solution - what`s the best way against 2. ...b4. Even in the megabase I found no clear recommendation.

For games by a decent player in the Wing, check out a Keres best game collection. He had occasional fun with it.

Well, 3...d6 transposes to 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. b4 cb 4. d4; it puts me in mind of the game Corden-Gligoric, which used to be cited in books as clearly better for Black.  In that game after 5. Bd3, Black played the French-like 5...e6 followed by ...d5.

Great game!  White sacs three pawns for nice attacking prospects (the dark-squared bishop is a monster!).  It's not at all clear to me, but I imagine that Black is aleady having trouble defending by 24.Rg2 and probably has no prospects of holding onto the extra material.

I'm also unfamiliar with the opening, but I think Black often likes to get in ...d5 at some point.  So I'm wondering if 3...d6 is already a slight inaccuracy...

This just in from the Canadian Correspondence Chess Championship:

White: Wayne Hynes
Black: Dan Rotaru
1.e4 c5 2.b4 cxb4 3.Nf3 d6 4.d4 Nf6 5.Bd3 g6 6.a3 bxa3 7.Nxa3 Bg7 8.O-O O-O 9.Bb2 Nc6 10.d5 Nb8 11.Re1 Nbd7 12.c4 Nc5 13.e5 Ng4 14.Bd4 Nxe5 15.Nxe5 Bxe5 16.Rxe5 Nxd3 17.Re3 Nc5 18.Qe1 Re8 19.f4 Bf5 20.h3 h5 21.g4 hxg4 22.hxg4 Bxg4 23.Ra2 Bh5 24.Rg2 e6 25.Rh3 exd5 26.Qd1 Kf8 27.Rxh5 gxh5 28.Qxh5 Ke7 29.Qf5 Ne4 30.Rg7 Rf8 31.cxd5 Ke8 32.Qxe4+ Qe7 33.Nb5 Qxe4 34.Nxd6+ Kd7 35.Nxe4 a5 36.Bc5 a4 37.Ba3 Kc7 38.Kf2 Rh8 39.Rxf7+ Kb6 40.Nd6 Ka6 41.Rxb7 Rh2+ 42.Kg3  1-0

I don't know anything about this opening or options for White and Black, but I was very impressed with White's play...
