3 ... dxe4 4 Nxe4 Nf6 5 Nxf6+ gxf6
Is this totally unsound? 1 e4 e6 2 d4 d5 3 Nc3 Nf6 4 Bg5 dxe4 5 Nxe4 Be7 6 Bxf6 gxf6 is obviously more favorable, but I currently play 3 ... Bb4 against 3 Nc3, and am trying this line against 3 Nd2, i...

C10: Why not 4...h6 in the Rubinstein
I've noticed that 3...h6 gets some attention vs. the Tarrasch and even against 3. Nc3. What about on Black's 4th move in the Rubinstein? The point being that White won't be able to play Bg5 and ther...
