A bit off-topic perhaps, but why not 3.d5, then 4.Nc3? Just curious.

So after facing 3...Bf5 a number of times, I've found it might be better to NOT defer Nc3 but play it immediately, when White might take advantage of the early development of Black's WSB a number of ways if Black tries to head for "normal" variations, for instance 1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.h3 Bf5 4.Nc3 Qd6 5.Qf3!? or better yet 4...Qa5?! 5.b4!
