Anti-Londoner (1+1 vs 2455)

<Comment deleted by user>
Solid. Also an interesting choice is 3...Nbd7 f.b. e5. If 4.Nf3, then Nh5.

If 3.Nc3 Nbd7 4.Nf3, c5 is a good choice.
6...Sfd7 nebst ...e5 ist auch gut. Überhaupt bevorzuge ich, den Bauern auf c7 zu lassen und ...e5 durchzudrücken. Dann steht der Lf4 schön schlecht ^^

(wie CommanderAxe schon erwähnte)
Interesting line. I play a similar setup but wasn't aware of 9...e5 and gambiting a pawn.

Yes, Nfd7 lines are also viable, with e5 and f5 to follow. Those are all good with 2.Nf3 and 3.Bf4, but what I mentioned is special for 2.Bf4 before Nf3 - with quick d6 and Nbd7. For example, if d4 Nf6 Nf3 d6, White can just go 3.Nc3 and transpose to e4 lines, but not in d4 Nf6 Bf4 d6.

In fact, this line is pretty old. I have mentioned it in several threads.
