Well this is the power of the move Bg5! Your opponents terrifying from the pin instead of play Be7 and unpin the knight , they choose to weaken the Kingside pawn structure. Now after 6.Bg3 any attempt from the black side to develop the bishop either on e7 or g7 and castle Kingside hides a huge risk because of the weakened light squares around the King! The move 5...g5 it's a consession from the second player that occurs in your games because your opponents does not realize the risk.

Ok so this position (roughly) is what I was wondering about.
Bg5. When I am reading about this opening I hear about how this is a good thing to do and yet every time I play it this happens.
So why do I never see any examples of this happening in demonstration games? Is this because of the level I am playing at or something else?
