    I like A because it backs up our existing pawn and also adds pressure to keep his pawn from advancing (even tho he'll be able to take our with his knight)

    I'm a strong supporter of A — allows us to stop white's pawn from advancing and then potentially fianchetto the kingside bishop for a Sicilian Dragon opening
