QGA line bad for black, but how to win?

what about an attempt to take over d6 and the f5 break? by the way, if this 4.Nc3 line is bad, then can you show me how to get compensation for the IQP in this line?

I don't really get you.

In the middlegame, the IQP is a strength, not a weakness. Just learn how to handle IQP positions both sides of the board- this is essential knowledge for every chessplayer, much more useful than learning openings.

In your line, 10...b6? is a lemon. Black is in horrible shape after the simple 11.d5 (probably losing by force already).

I know, but if I can't use my advantage, I have a horrible endgame.
