📘 5.Bd3
White players used to take on d7 for years; However, after Bartel in 2011, Caruana in 2012, and Carlsen in 2013 played this move its popularity increased and now it can be called the main line. The idea of this move is to continue with c3, Bc2 and d4, to reach a typical Lopez type of position.
