I started out a match against Anneke in
which she plays this defense. The final position appears comfortable enough for white: e4 and g6 are open for several men
and eliminating the lone ranger with e13 seems also inviting. But the games against Anneke
have revealed a variety of very swampy positions in many of which white encounters tempo
problems. One might be well advised even in the above line to slow down pace to gain tempo,
say 3.gxe4 and/or 4.f4x6.
