♡ 39 ( +1 | -1 ) What to reply to 4. e5 in modern (Robatsch) def.?Hi, I'm in a game at board #596865, I'm black.
These moves are in various opening books, accept for whites last move. My problem: why? I think it's a good move, but it would be in opening books, right?
www.chessops.com is a pretty complete online opening reference. Nothing there on 4. e5.

♡ 13 ( +1 | -1 ) You probably should have prevented this by d6I'm not going to tell you what I think you should do now until the game is over. Asking for help during games is not allowed.

♡ 49 ( +1 | -1 ) crikey !Only three moves into the game and already a tempo down !!
3...Nf6 was not a move to be proud of, you should have paid more attention to your opponents placement of his pieces rather than slavishly following opening moves from a book.
3...d6 was the required move from Black
As to where do you now put your rather sorry looking Knight ? that's your decision I'm afraid as I cannot comment on future moves on a game in progress......
