Personally i think this variation only benefits Black.
|

|
| |
|
|
3... cxd5 4. Bb5+
|
enticing the further exchange of pieces...
|

|
| |
|
|
4... Bd7 5. Bxd7+ Nxd7
|
So now both light squared bishops are off the board.
|

|
| |
|
|
6. d4 Ngf6
|
Standard development
|

|
| |
|
|
7. Nf3 e6 8. O-O Bd6
|
Aiming down at the h2 square. I'm also getting ready to get my Rook over to the c file.
|

|
| |
|
|
9. b3 Qc7
|
Piling up on the h2 square.
|

|
| |
|
|
10. Bb2
|
The fianchetto doesn't really help white out in this situation, in my opinion. The bishop is blocked by his own pawn.
|

|
| |
|
|
10... Rc8
|
Now i have a couple threats at c2 and h2.
|

|
| |
|
|
11. Nc3
|
Blocks the c2 threat and develops.
|

|
| |
|
|
11... Ng4
|
Further pressure is added to h2. I think my position is looking rather nice right about now.
|

|
| |
|
|
12. h3
|
Tries to remove an attacker.
|

|
| |
|
|
12... h5
|
The Knight is poisoned, taking will result in a worse position for white.

Unfortunately for him, he doesn't see the danger in taking.

13... hxg4
|
Threatening the capture of the Knight. More importantly, it opens the h file for my Rook. White is in some serious trouble...

An attempt to block off the diagonal; however, white's fate is sealed.
|

14... Bxe5 15. dxe5 Qxe5

White can't prevent the mate.
