I play the Center Counter Defense.. After 3. Nc3

I play two variations

The Mieses Var 3...Qa5: So far... (current theory) White's best play gives only a marginal pull in the middle game and nothing more.

&

The Czebe Var 3...Qd6 4.d4 Nf6 5.Nf3 g6 has a lot in common with the Grunfeld ) If... 5. Bc4 one can still play g6 lines.. That stated, lines 5..a6 with b7-b5 with Bb7 can also be played which I like also.

(as debated...with Compadre J.. happy in which I lost the debate ... Don't play ...a6 lines where White is able to play g3 and Bg2 !!! White get's a huge advantage

I like the Center Counter Defense... fits me well. My only critique, the defense can get monotone.

I like the below line.

Black usually doesn’t take B pawn.
