5.d5 is most likely, after which he will most probably play Nf4!

Here are two/more games, one loss and one win in the reshevsky

I support d5 as our reply against 5. Nge2
It just scares me that one of the games won by black was a Petrosian game... Do we really want to be obliged to maintain the same level of defensive play as Petrosian? Cause if we do, I hope someone studied his games quite well...
