I've been using this one for awhile now, and have had good results with it. The only problem I can see is the possibility of white playing against the b-pawn, which can seem a little "loose" at times. Anyone have an opinion on the validity of this move?

2...b5 looks fine. White has alot of options for his next move. What is the idea behind playing 2...b5.

to fianchetto the bishop and pin the knight? Possibly starting some queenside play =\ It looks pretty good. You'd have to play for queenside space and be able to use it later on. b5 could support a c4 attack later on maybe?
