	I have not found a thread on this move. Today, on the 2nd board of a team championship, playing the Black side of the Main-Line Slav, I encountered 4.Nc3 dxc4 5.Ne5, played by a "2200+"-player. What is it?! The game continued 5..b5 6.g3 Bb7 etc I had to improvize. I won, although White was better after 13 moves. (Now I know where I erred.) How good is 5.Ne5? "Play the Slav" by Vigus recommends declining the gambit, by playing 5..Nbd7. (I couldn't recall the move during the game)
