3.e5
1. You have move the same piece twice in the opening when you didnt need to. Black now has the lead in development.
2. You gave up control of d5-f5.
3. You no longer occupy the central e4 square.
4. Black can now chip away at your over entended pawn on e5 with 3...d6. And after 4.Nf3 you lose a pawn, or after 4.ed6 cd6, black has 2 center pawns vs. 1, or 4...Bd6 further increasing his lead in development.
I love pushing the e4 pawn to e5 if it is supported on d4.
I don't seem to do too badly out of it usually but according to the engine it is a bad move.
Here was a rapid game I played today.
Can anybody comment on why, in general, it is a bad move?
