Not at all sound, but few players will be able to resist Qa4+?

I'm always amused by this cliché...because it actually turns out to be false.

 

Lets say I have 9 people who are 2 feet tall and 1 person is 12 feet tall. The average height is 3 feet. but 9/10ths of the group are shorter than average.

I would probably not resist, as 5.Qa4+ is a very good move.

The real lemon is white's next (6.d5?)

Indeed. 6.a3 then d5.

 A fun line to play is 2...g6 which also can be played with the Modern defence move order. The idea is that if White becomes greedy to hang onto the d5 pawn can easily found himself in a trouble, otherwise, it's a typical fianchetto Scandinavian where White plays with free risk to build an attack.

3.c4 c6 looks like pretty much playable.



Black is master.

White is stuppid.

This position is good for white.

The "Foxy DVD #19 Center Counter Carnage!" by IM Andrew Martin deals pretty well with those moves other than 2...Qxd5 from black standpoint.
