4...dxe4 · Burn variation

[edit | edit source]

Black chooses to exchange pawns in the center in order to protect the knight on f6.

White should simply respond by recapturing on e4 with 5. Nxe4, after which Black should decide on how to defend their knight and potentially whether to recapture it with a piece or with the g7-pawn.
