After dxe5 Qxd8+ Kxd8 black has an easier time finishing development and a pawn in the center so he's at least equal if not a tiny bit better.
If white doesn't take then he has more center and his development will be as easy as black's so a tiny bit better for white.
Losing the ability to castle is ok when there's no ability to do a mating attack (this is often ok after the queens come off the board).
hey guys, can anyone explan to me as to why 4. dxe5 is a bad move for white? looking at grandmaster games none of them took on e5
