Hi,
I was looking into the scillian defense (dragon variation) and was wondering what reply I should make if the following situation was to come up
(1) e2-e4 c7-c5
(2) Ng1-f3 e7-e6
(3) d2-d4 c5xd4
(4) Nf3xd4 Ng8-f6
(5) Nb1-c3 g7-g6
(6) Nd4-b5 (OR Nc3-b5)
The problem with whites move there is next turn the knight on b5 will move to d6 and fork the king and bishop - forcing the king to move and forefeiting the right to castle. Also this cant be prevented by playing Qe8-d7 because then the knight forks the rook and king.
Any help on what to do in the situation would be appreciated - sorry if that version of the defense is easily countered
