Proposal to expand upon the 3. c3 "enhanced" Alapin line
What should black play after 3. c3? The only line that even approaches equality (by winning percentage) is e6. In every other line it seems white has a much easier time of it, with win percentages approaching double that of black. I referred to this as an "enhanced" Alapin as white gets an extra developed Knight due to black's essentially wasted h6.
