The position is already a sharp and topical after
1.Nf3 d5 2.c4 d4 3.b4 f6 4.e3 e5 5.c5 a5 6.Bb5+ c6 7.Bc4 Ne7(diagram) and is analyzed deeply by Delchev in The Modern Reti(Chess Stars 2012).
I don't find the sharp 5.c5 method very convincing because black can play sharply with 5...a5! and now the c-pawn is undermined.
White is forced to play sharply just to maintain the equilibrium while black has a number of playable alternatives of which 7...Bg4 is an alternative to the main move 7...Ne7 which is analyzed by Delchev in The Modern Reti.
Here is the feature game which shows the latest developments in the 5.c5 a5 line.
Aranaz Murillo,A (2251) - Mirzoev,A (2547)
Reti 2.c4 d4 3.b4 f6 4.e3 e5 5.c5 a5 [A09]
XXIV Roquetas Open Roquetas de Mar ESP (2.2), 03.01.2013
Position 1
Neither side has completed development but black clearly has aggressive intentions of the kingside. What do you suggest for black now?
