What is with you and the losing streak you're in,I know you could do better...
i dont mind losing if the games are fun. but i do make absent minded moves in games i should win.
I play that opening with black and I think if you play 5...c5! or 5...Nc6 you will get a better game>> my logic is as follows: You sacrifice a pawn for initiative so you want an attack or at least a positional bind. By playing 5...Bb4 you are attacking the knite on c3 and white can force you to trade it off or make it reatreat back to e7. In the latter case you would end up giving white at least one extra tempo after 1.e4 d5 2. exd Nf6 3.c4 e6 4.dxe Bxe6 5.Nc3 Bb4!? 6.a3 Be7. But if you play 5...c5 you are getting a bind on d4 and you don't waste a tempo in addition trading that Bishop loses the bishop pair and cuts material when you ae pawn down and hoping for an attack. So that move is in my experience/opinion is unjustified.
