1.e4 d6 2.d4 g6 3.Nf3 Bg7 4.Be2 Nd7 5.a4 {Makes both b6 and a6 more unattractive.} 5...Ngf6 {Interestingly I felt this move transposing to a Pirc where it is not certain that white would have liked to spend a tempo on a4, was the toughest move to gain advantage against.} 
    ( 5...e5 6.Nc3 exd4 
        ( 6...Ne7 7.dxe5 Nxe5 8.Nxe5 Bxe5 9.Bh6 {Looks annoying.} )
    7.Bg5 Bf6 8.Bxf6 Ngxf6 9.Qxd4 O-O 10.O-O-O {White should have chances to create an initiative.} )
    ( 5...c5 6.d5 {Seems structurally suspect for black.} )
    ( 5...b6 6.a5 Bb7 7.d5 {Should be better for white.} )
    ( 5...a6 6.O-O e5 
        ( 6...b6 7.a5 b5 8.c4 bxc4 9.Bxc4 e6 10.d5 {And black is hit before he is ready.} )
    7.dxe5!? Nxe5 8.Nxe5 Bxe5 9.Nc3 {With reasonable chances to apply pressure for white.} )
6.Nc3 O-O 
    ( 6...e5 7.dxe5 dxe5 8.b3 {Setting up with Ba3 and Bc4 should give white some advantage despite the symmetrical nature of the position.} )
7.O-O!? {White has a few alternatives though nothing obviously better.} 7...e5 8.dxe5!? dxe5 9.b3!? Nc5 10.Ng5 
    ( 10.Ba3 Nfxe4 11.Nxe4 Nxe4 12.Bxf8 Qxf8 {And I guess if anyone has an advantage it is white but the position is also a bit to close to unclear for my taste.} )
10...Qe7 11.Ba3 {Probably black is OK but white looks a little bit more comfortable.} *
