Now that I have played Play Tester a few games with Black, I'm wondering if there is a graceful way of coping with his first move in each game, i.e. Lion to b5, attacking the undefended Black pawn on b8 and menacing the Black Chancellor on the a-file in next going to a6, which also sets up annoying(?) lateral moves on the sixth rank depending on what Black tries.

I know the current setup for this CV was analyzed with ChessV's 'tools' for checking setups of CVs, so I'm also wondering if it points out the best way(s) (or hopefully multiple satisfactory way(s)) for Black to respond.
