I've seen a book about 2. .. b6 but I don't get what may be the plan
and strategy behind it. Can someone explain at least the basics and/or
give me some links about it ?
Thanks,
Enrico B. A.

The idea is to fianchetto the QB.
You're conceding the center. The idea is to be able to hit back at
white's center and demolish it if he's not careful. Beyond that, it's
hard to say too much since a lot depends on how you follow up. It's easy
to imagine something like 1.d4 b6 transposing into a somewhat mainstream
system, but to me this looks like a choice for someone who's terrified
of playing into his opponent's opening, and therefore is willing to
accept an inferior position without a fight.
The idea, I guess, is that there are plenty of reasonable positions you
can get to, but I suspect most players who go for something like this
are going to end up with less space and not much to show for it.
By avoiding contesting the center right away, black invites white to
overreach. However, even most hypermodern players prefer to be a little
more tactful is encouraging white to build his center.
