5...b5 Variation - play Chess the active way!

When you have the black pieces play the 5...b5 Variation - play chess actively and counter with 5...b5!? instead of 5...Na5 or 5...Nxd5??(which loses as you know). The best move is now the strange looking move 6.Bf1!, but I seriously doubt that white will find this move if he has not studied this b5-Variation. If White plays another move you have nothing to worry about at all and a good chess game with lots of tactical chances. If White finds the move 6.Bf1 then he has probably a slight advantage as usual.
