? Rc3 tactically covers the e5 move: 3... e5 4. dxe5 fxe5 5. Rd1.

Nice move!

? 2. Bxa5 exd4 3. exd4 e5 4. dxe5 Nxe5 5. Rxc8 Rxc8 6. Rd1 and Black's weak
? pawns are in a lot of trouble, or:
?
? 2. Bxa5 Nf6 3. dxe5 Ng4 4. e4 dxe4 5. Rxc8 Rxc8 6. Re1 reaches a similar
? position. Wide open, weak black pawns targeted.

The only alternative I can find for black is, after 1. Bc7 fxe5 2. Bxa5, 2...b6 with the plan of playing ...e5-e4. But after 3. Bb4 e4 4. Bd6 and white looks in control again. Not sure if there's anything else I can add.
