I was afraid of going to d3 first, and having to move again after dxc4; thinking I would lose a tempo. This is wrong. It is black that would lose a tempo if they take before white's bishop is developed. Waiting for Bd3 allows black to capture without losing that tempo, white is not losing anything either way!} Bg4 ({Relevant:} 7... c6 8. O-O Bg4 9. Qb3 Qb6 10. Qxb6 axb6 11. Ne1 Na6 12. f3 Be6 13.
