Bd6 is not the best, not just because it temporarily blocks the d pawn, but because it plays for a trap. BXB4 looks fine instead of trap chess.
It isn't playing for a trap... it's playing for a center duo (e5+d5) after Bd6 followed by c6, bc7, d5, etc.
i think d6 is better it does blocks your light square bishop
gosh, can you even read more than two sentences.
blueemu said explicitly "it's playing for a center duo (e5+d5) after Bd6 followed by c6, bc7, d5, etc." doesn't that addresses the problem of the light squared bishop?
to Nwap11: while Bd6 does contain a trap, its a good move. trap chess is bad if you are plating inaccuracies just for the sake of setting up a trap. in fact, most good moves contain a trap because you can never refute a good move.
But yes. Bxb4 is much better. another easy way to play against b4 is to play 1...c6 followed by 2...a5, attempting to damage white's queenside pawn structure. But against b3, there are a few key lines where bad6 is the best. and it's important to know that?
EDIT: replying to #16, white cannot do anything to stop the plan of c6, bc7, and d5. Nf3 is met by Qe7, while f4 leads to the line in #3.
okay what i am getting from this is you can activate light square bishop like this . sorry sometimes i have difficulty reading annotations

After 1.b4 you can respond 1...d5 then 2...Qd6 and 3...e5. Black gets a pretty strong position.
Very few positions can you waste 3 tempi in. If the game is locked up or the center is closed, then you are right. But think what you would do in this position if your opponent handed you three tempi.
a3 or c4 and d4 maybe, but nothing special
