Can someone point me to some good plans for black with this opening.  Opening tricks, traps to watch out, different lines, etc.  I started playing this opening against d4 because equalizing gave me more wins.  I don't think people who used this were prepared to go toe to toe with their opponent.

Believe it or not, I think there is a book about this opening coming out soon.

That should be interesting. I thought this was just bad for Black.
