I've been really frustrated when playing against 1. b4 ( Sokolsky Opening) . I've tried using the classical setup with d5, Nf6, Be7, 0-0, Nbd7, however, c5 is really hard to play because of the annoying pawn on b4. If instead i fianchetto the QB with b6, then white can play b5 which really doesnt allow me to make the c4 push. Can anyone give me an idea?
