Do you have a recommendation for 5... bb5+? there is a course by GM José González on chessable that recommends this line. After 6. c3 the main idea is to play e5, trade queens and play Ng5 and have bishop pair for the pawn.

Hi, really enjoyed the course! Please could you cover 3..dxe4; 4.Bxe4, Nf6; Bf3, c5; 6.Ne2, Nc6; 7.Be3, Qb6 move please? Seems like Qb6 is the second most popular move after cxd4 on move 7.
