In this pet black 2...Nf6 opening of mine, 3. Nc3 Nxd5 is nothing too unusual, but after the perhaps slightly less common followup of 4. d4 in a game I just played, I suddenly got the urge to try to be clever. Thus, 4...c5.
The idea is to leave white with tripled isolated pawns.
But I'll again be a pawn down. Can this make any sense?
Anyhow, this tripling did occur, and immediately afterwards I moved Bf5, which, apparently, according to the in-browser Stockfish, is a very bad move, and should have ruined my compensation, but my opponent followed with his own counterblunder and I ended up stumbling into victory.
It's probably just an unsoundness upon an unsoundness upon an unsoundness, but I'm still curious for what people think about 4...c5 versus the various alternatives like 4...Nxc3.
