Bishop D-3, if black plays F-5 then Q-E2 could be vicious

As everyone says, d3 is good. 

Interesting gambit, by the way.

I'm pretty certain, doing it in my head, that Q e2 wins outright. Black only has f5 after which Bg5.

White's still down two pawns and I don't see why Bg5 is such a good move.

Well Be7, then what?

Redshift70

move order is everything, what move do you make in the right order? ...

Redshift70

if at move six Bg5 then Be7 will do just fine Bx E7 then NxE7 ..whites just trading pieces

Redshift70

ohhh even with the Q- at E - without the bishop at D-3 ...comes to nothing

Redshift70

ment Q- E2

...Nxe4 is a mainline so unlikely that it loses by force.

I agree that it's maybe not a very practical choice from Black's point of view for an opening that you're hardly ever going to face; I'd probably play 5...Nb4 or 5...Be7 but I have seen very strong players take on e4, and then its a mess after Qe2 (as you say)

In the 2003 book, The Four Knights, IM Jan Pinski discussed 6 Bc4 and 6 Qe2.

I think Bd3 myself

But Qe2 is the best move according to analysis

And Qe2 blocks bishop from developing and slows down the tempo of the game
