White can exploit this weakness attacking it with /6. Nb5/, a powerful move which is the natural prosecution of the sharp situation originated by Black's choices. This move continues the path towards the Frankenstein-Dracula variation. If White does not like to meet his opponent on this terrain, he may enter into a sideline, Adams' Gambit (named after Weaver Adams), by playing /6. d4/, letting Black keep a material advantage, compensated by his cramped position.
