{atanh: Derived from ChessDB.cn top moves after 1. d4, circa 2019-12-04. According to Lichess and other sites, top continuations seem to be 9. O-O, and 9. e4, with 9. a3 underwhelmingly coming in third. However, while exploring CDBCN, it seems that 9. a3 might hold more promise than it first seems. Will be interesting to see what the latest engines think. }
