      I don’t see anything better, Alena, but you might want to at least look at the line where black plays Bf3 on the first move. It isn’t optimal for black, I think, but it is going to be a move a lot of readers will wonder about, and they will wonder how white deals with it.

      Also, what about 1. …f5, for example?
