    @DaBigOne : Between the two, I like your variation better. Still, white could ignore it completely, or play 7. d3. The open dark squared bishop is key to stop the fishing pole.

    Yeah, I think d3 is a critical line of the variation. But as I said before, this is all theory, so u can look it up. I'd tell u, but I don't know any of this theory, I played Berlin, and now I switched to Dragon Sicilian

    It's called the fishing pole because Bobby Fischer was the one that created the trap.
