*this is mostly a question for high rated people on here

I play the accelerated dragon so naturally I will encounter the Maróczy Bind quite often. The way I normally play against it is the gurgenidze system(probably didn't spell that right) as follow:

however I'm unsure what the best way to continue they play f3 on move 6:

the main move I've been analyzing is Qb6 but it's very apparent that it is still very difficult to play against. Any ideas/recommendations are greatly appreciated!

Maroszy Bind has the reputation to be tough for black even at GM level. The variation on your last diagram seems to be correct. Just continue with 8...d6. I don't think that U can significantly improve your position within Maroszy Bind variations. peshka.png

Why not just 6. ...Nxd4? I don't think that White has anything better than Nc3 sooner or later anyway, so it should just transpose into your line.
