Opposite Knight's Move

Can transpose to a West OCG in many variants if Black allows it. So learning that one is a must. For example 1. a6 f1 2. d2 c4 3. d4 c3 4. d3.

Capstone Block: 1. a6 f1 2. d2 c4 3. d4 Cd3 4. c3

main line: 1. a6 f1 2. d2 c4 3. d4 c5 4. d3

4. ... c3 transposes to West OCG
4. ... d5 5. e5

Flat Block: 1. a6 f1 2. d2 c4 3. d4 d3 4. c2

White tries to prove that flat a structural disadvantage now.
