Chess: Live Blitz game 3

This is a Live Blitz game played by me on FICS(freechess.org). I opened with the Noteboom Variation of the Slav Defense (by transposition).

Is it really alright to take on move three like that? To try and get to the noteboom I've always waited for move four.

[GreenCastleBlock]

@Royalemperorblue It is inferior to capture on move 3 because White is not committed to developing his N to c3.

1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nf3 dxc4 4.e3 b5 5.a4 e6 6.axb5 cxb5 7.b3 Bb4 8.Bd2! (White can't achieve this exchange of bishops in the mainline Noteboom) Bxd2 9.Nbxd2 a5 10.bxc4 b4 11.c5 with the idea Nd2-c4 is thought to favor White, but it's not unplayable for Black. My opponent in this game was ignorant of this finesse.

1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nc3 dxc4 is quite legit though, because of 4.a4?! e5!

at 4:29 f6 could probaly break his pawn on e5

@shinyninetales999 that looks very dangerous for Black! Qg6+ followed by Rxa5

that check on d8 would be really bad foryou wouldnt it

[GreenCastleBlock]

@naker115 Take twice on d8 then play ..Be4.... leaves me with a R, N, and two pawns for the Queen.  Might have been ok.

@ichigo2008bleach CamStudio, the program I record with, has an option not to show it.
