It's possible in the g6 variation as well. Of course taking is fine but it's just that no other lines were analyzed yet besides the immediate capture.
Pfren gives us the gems, and leaves us to sort the rubbish ;)
How would you deal with the Rossolimo Attack?

but 0-0 has to be analyzed too considering it's been played even more than bxc6

Of course.
But if I were pfren, I wouldn't take 5 hours composing a miniature opening book and post it online for free.
4.0-0 may be a serious alternative, or it may only be bad by comparison (maybe it's equality). Lines with the most moves are many times the old mainline.
In any case, the line he posted I'd never seen, and it's much better for black than what I had considered to be the main line, so I'm grateful to him for that.
White has three different strategies in the 3...g6 Rossolimo: First, taking c6 at once and following either with the typical d3/h3/Be3/Nc3/Qd2/Bh6 etc concept (which can vary according to Black's replies), castle and go for the classical big center by c3 and d4, or finally proceed with straightforward piece development. Currently the early Bxc6 plan is the more fashionable, and this is for a good reason. I have used all three of these approaches in the past, and I played sevaral interesting games, but I also believe now that 4.Bxc6 is the most principled and dangerous white plan.
Here is another approach I have tried:
The looks are rather deceptive- Black has no real problems in that line, which is extensively tested. Wei Yi recently lost as Black, although it was a rapid game.
Really? I thought Black would lose tactically every time!

What?
lol That was so irrelevant, back to what I was thinking...
It seems that quite a few questions have been answered on this site, so I decided to make a thread... free will.
In my opinion when black plays this position I always feel in an advantage as white and when my opponent plays d6 after white plays Bb5 putting a pin on his own king which is a variation and a position I just always feel like crushing black and it always turns out that way.

Good for you brat features. Pity it didn't work for Fabi v Carlsen? Obviously, you are better.
