	5.a3, 5.Nbd2 and 5.g3 are all better for White. How could I possibly choose just one?

	All our dreams come true if we have the courage to pursue them.

	What if most people vote for one thing as objectively best and they're objectively wrong? How can a vote on objective truth make sense? Let's Vote for the objective value of a quantity which starts at 100%, increases by 20% then decrease by 20%... No, let's just put everyone on huge scales and see how much flesh is in favor of each number. The winner is...100%! From now on that is what I will say, secure in the knowledge that it is the objectively best reply according to weighty criteria. By the way, I play Nbd2 because it fits my style--I'm 96% sure.
