Comments.Text: Yes there are, but I advise you not to play it. The plan with `g3` + `Bg2` offers White an advantage, if memory serves...

Comments.Text: I actually prefer this variation to the "3. Nc3 dxe4 4. Nxe4 Bf5 5. Ng3" and "3. Nc3 dxe4 4. Nxe4 Nd7" variations. With the former, I am afraid to castle kingside because I could not stop White's kingside pawn storm and when castling queenside, I couldn't think of good plans for Black to play actively. With the latter, the game can be opened by white quickly. I am afraid of open games, I only like closed or semi-closed games, so the Bronstein-Larsen variation seems to be a semi-closed one.

Comments.Text: *3. Nc3 dxe4 4. Nxe4 Bf5 5. Ng3* is quite solid, I would go that way. It offers easy equality, as far as I remember.
