Still surprised and a little confused about how fast my position went uphill, Bf4 was probably very bad. Also note that I was wrong here:
and 8.-a6! is equal, something I noticed in September and managed to play as Black vs YKW 
All in all, I think 5.-c5 is massively underrated, too bad 5.e3 the Noteboom mainline is there anyway (although we manage to skirt some White options).

Not sure what the Black plan is then, most likely not the 6.-cxd4 7.Nxd4 e5 since he is pretty badly behind in development after, for instance, 8.Ndb5 Qxd1+ 9.Kxd1.
