Then, if Black develops as normal, White can place his queenside bishop outside his pawn-chain, after 5.e3. In other words, then White won't be blocking his own bishop in behind his own pawns. However, Pillsbury has a plan to get his presently blocked queenside bishop breathing space again, with an e4 push. 3...Nf6

After this, Black will either loose his bishop, or time. Advantage White. [6...Bb7

Take stock of the position: White has the two bishops - a powerful combination; White has more space in the centre; Black's king has yet to find safety after castling
10.Bf4
Bxf3?
Awful. Now Black gives up his other strong bishop for no good reason. As a result, White's queen finds a nice diagonal, and black cannot defend d6 anymore with the queen to c7, as Qa8+ will cause serious harm. Plus, this puts Black even further behind in development
11.Qxf3
d5
Blocking the queen's diagonal, but ...
12.Bd6!
Now Black cannot castle (he cannot castle through check - against the rules), and his king is stuck in the centre to be beaten up by White's better developed army.

And mate! The moral of this story, is don't leave a king in the middle against a better developed opponents army. And NEVER play Pillsbury. 1-0
