5. Nc3 edit

Moving the knight to c3 blocks white from playing pawn to d5, however this move which is played by low-rating players can be considered a mistake because Black could gain a tempo by playing Nd4!, moving to an outpost which threatens to win the queen while also threatening to fork white’s pieces at the same time.
