Thank you so much. I really like stuff like this.
Defending against the "Flexible Dragon Unleashed"

The problem is, of course, that this covers only best play by GM's.
White might play different move orders or deviate here and there and even though the alternatives might be worse, they still can be dangerous enough for us mere mortals. I'll try to dig up a few sidelines.
Most important to remember is the ...c6! idea combined with ...Qc7 plus holding back both the Nb8 and Bb7, especially if White proceeds that fast with their attack.
Awhile ago, I put together the most significant lines from Tiger's analysis of his game against Emanuel Berg. This might answer some of the questions related to that line.
