Indeed. Nothing wrong with it in the normal sense of the word. The minor problem is that the theoretical verdict on certain very deep, sharp poisoned pawn style lines seems to have ended up a bit worrying for black.

Perhaps not utterly fatal but its a deterent.

Taking on b4 isn't at all healthy.

Hi,
I am wondering what is wrong with 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3Nc3 Bb4 4.e5 c5 5.a3 Ba5???  I know 6.b4 is good next move....
Thanks,
Zatara
