In over the board chess (non-correspondence) against average club players, can anyone see anything wrong with the line 1.e4 e5 2.d4 d5 3.exd5 Qxd5? For me, it's more dynamic than the main line ...exd5 and after say, 4.c4 Qd8 black can develop with moves like ...b6, ...Bb7 and ...c5 etc with similar positions to that of the Queen's Indian. There seems to be no theory on this line but strong players such as Nakamura and Zang Zong have used this line with good results! Please help, good and bad comments about this line are welcome, maybe someone knows of any books covering this line also?
