Leave the bishop at e3 and play 7. Bb5+, which wins material.

Developing the habit of always looking for checks and captures would be especially valuable at a fast time control (such as 600 seconds/game), where tactical mistakes are more frequent than at the slower time controls.

Yes 7.Bb5+ some very good players have also fallen for this.

The mainline usually goes..



In the first game. Here (Black to pay)


10...Nxc2+ and Qxe3+ is good. Twice Black missed this idea.
