3.e5
c5
I rather recently started to play 1.e4, so there are some variations which I don't know at all. This variation is one of them. I expected only 3...Bf5, the move usually played by my opponent. After 3...c5 all I knew was that I have to play 4.dxc5 and nothing else, so I deliberately chose a weaker but more solid variation. 4.c3
