of the attractions of this line is it often leads to a complex struggle with opposite-side castling and
in that case White's king is well protected on the << by the doubled c-pawns. However, this doesn't
mean that White gets a strong -> automatically: the open <-> e is a strong neutralizing factor
and he must reckon with Black's [+]<=> as well. 6...Be7

[The other main move with similar ideas is 7.Bf4 ,
but this is recently somewhat less fashionable among the top players (although in general it's played
rather more often, than the text-move). Now Black has a choice: Developing
the B to f4 allows Black to play 7...O-O
