In e4 e5 lines I've started my opponents are often careless with their e5 pawn.

1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 Nc6
3. Bb5 d6
4. d4 a6? (exd4 or Bb7)
5. Bxc6 bxc6
6. dxe5



Black to move.

6...dxe5
7. Qxd8+ Kxd8
8. Nxe5

Is clearly terrible.

6... Bg4
7. exd6 cxd6

Black is just down a pawn.

Anyone who plays 3...d6 deserves what he gets.

lmao.

Be a man, play f5.

I've found that most opponents either play mainline (duh!), patzer (I will mate you in 10) or crap (duh!).
