Hello all. I was wondering how you deal with systems where black follows the main line but then retreats the f6 knight and puts a pawn there so as to support an e5 push. Obviously you can take e5 with f4 but when black takes back with the f pawn if you take with the d pawn then the centre is looking messy. Is there anyway to discourage this line or cope with the akward situation. Thanks in advance.
