Given White's moves, Black's best play is 1. ... g6 & 2. ... Bg7. More seriously, though, against White's early queenside fianchetto, Black can play 1. ... e5, 2. ... d6, & play for a King's Indian type set up with g6 & Bg7. Or, Black could play for a full center with 2. ... Nc6 followed by d5. Or Black could go for his owe fianchetto on either side, as first suggested (thouygh a fianchetto on the queenside may not be as prudent with the pawn at a4). White's 1. a4, whether this is a stronger opponent you are tacitly dealing with, is most-likely just to throw you out of any book preparation (for a tempo) while perhaps approximately grabbing some space on the queenside. If you are looking to punish 1. a4 specifically, do so by getting your pieces developed quickly without wasting any tempi of your own. Just some rough thoughts .... ---------
