the bishop might get useless/ get trapped on f5
I don't mind trading off the LSB. My idea is to have my pawns on light squares. I like the idea of provoking white to play moves like g4 etc. trying to trap my bishop.
I also do not mind playing 2...Nc6 before my bishop move. The only thing I didn't really like about your diagram was the d4 pawn push. I guess you was trying to gain space. However, does seem like a very over stretching move to me.
Mindlessly trading off the LSB in such positions is a mistake that Karpov made only once in his entire career.
Being annoyed is actually an attitude problem....'cuz you're letting it annoy you. If it's really a problem ?....well, then that's different. But, it usually isn't.
