White then plays 5.d3, attacking the knight on e4 again and preparing to develop the queen to h5. Black can defend the knight with 5...Nxc3, but this allows White to play 6.Nxd5, attacking the queen and forcing it to move.

After 6...Qh5, White plays 7.Nxd5, attacking the queen once again. Black has limited options to defend the queen, and any move allows White to continue with a strong attack.
