Hi world. I am not sure if this idea has ever been thought of, but after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Ne5 d6 4.Nf3 Ne4 5.Nc3 Nc3 6.dc, instead of kingside castling for black, why doesn't (s)he go for queenside castling?

Doesn't that give white a free pawn with 11.Bxa7? {If 11...b6 12.Ba6#}

11. Bg5 followed by 12. Re1 would lose a piece or exchange for black.

Actually, black can castle queenside but the knight should be on c6 square instead on the d7 square
