After 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4, it is our move.
Please type 4. ... and your choice.
I will vote later on.

Originally posted by paulbuchmanfromficsseems that 4...Nf6 seems like a reasonable move, if a little obvious, we gain a tempo on the e pawn which white must respond to, we develop a piece, 4...e5 also gains tempo but commits the e pawn to e5 and leaves us with a backward pawn on d6, 4...g6 seems quite interesting but does not win any tempo and leaves white option of playing f4, so in retrospect, 4...Nf6 seems most logical.
