5 - Lasker System II (2.g3)
1.Nf3 d5 2.g3 Nf6 3.Bg2 Bf5
White has other methods of striving for an opening advantage apart from the systems already examined where he fianchettoes his DSB.
Not infrequently Black plays 3...c6 followed by 4...Bf5. In this case White's plan involves the preparation and push of c4.
Todorcevic vs Szabo**

"4...dxc4 is hardly ever played since after 5.Na3 White wins back the pawn and secures an advantage in the center." --- Osnos
