I vote 3 ... b7-b6

+ Show Spoiler +
I am not really familiar with 1.d4 openings. 3 ... b7-b6 seems like the only reasonable choice to prevent the threat of c4-c5. After 3 ... d7-d5 4. c5, white has a lot of space and black is already in a very defensive position.
Don't take my analysis too serious though, I haven't played chess seriously in years.

3...b6 is a part of the opening we're playing, unless I'm horribly, horribly wrong.

3..... b6.

btw dont you guys think we should speed up this match a little bit ? at one move per day we may end up finishing this like next year........ after all it's just a fun match.

ps. sorry for joining late. we should have played budapest gambit, as I am a strong player myself with that opening
Chuck Norris owns the greatest Poker Face of all-time. It helped him win the 1983 WSOP holding just a Get out of Jail Free Monopoloy card, and a green #4 card from the game UNO, against an AAA KK flop and his rival folding AK after Chuck raised him ALL-IN

I figured since it is the logical move. However, I am not looking into any chess book or run any chess engine here. That would make it boring. And I haven't memorized any 1.d4 stuff basically. It it was for me, we would play a kings gambit

Chess marathon was the initial idea. What's wrong about finishing next year?

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
