Yeah exd4, Nxd4 and then what? Actually the OP has those two moves missing.

In this book, I think that 4...Nf6 and 4...Bc5 are considered.

The Nf6 after Nxd4 seems interesting, I will start playing that.

 

However the f3 line, now that is a line I would love playing I think.

 

I will try and implement both moves.
