I'm also confused, d5 or e5? Assuming e5, the move is not unknown but the more likely continuation (rather than the one you gave) is:
5. Bb5+ Nd7 6. Nf5 a6 7. Bxd7+ Qxd7 8. Nc3...
I see White with superior development, space, pawn structure. I see Black with holes at d5 & b6, a misplaced Queen, jammed up pieces. Black isn't lost but the chances seem to be more with White assuming he doesn't overreach.
sorry, its 4...e5. why isn't f4 a good move? Thanks for the feedback!
What's wrong with 1. e4 c5 2. Nf6 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 d5
I suppose a better question is, why have I never seen it. White loses the tempo, and black gains control of the middle. Is it because after the knight moves, white can play f4, and trade for the e pawn? Of course black can easily counter this with f6 and then it's basically just a trade of f pawns. What's the reason?
