I've played this OTB a few times but I throw in the move 2.a4.


But only if I'm 99% sure I'll be seeing 1...d5 after 1.Nf3 because after 1.Nf3 Nf6...


...according to Rupert de Baur in 'Ist Goot Schach Spiel ' published by Flywheel, Shyster and Flywheel,
White is in Zugzwang.

I'm not familiar with that publication. 😉 I will in future insist that
opponents do not reply Nf6.

(Either that or continue with standard Reti development)
