White's QP hoped for 5..PxP, 6.PxP centre control.
Black avoids a 5..Kt-KB3?! trap and develops his Queen (better than any pawn move) to K2(e7), defending his K4(e5) pawn to keep the centre and avoid an exchange. B-Alt.

When castling always touch the king first
Under FIDE laws of chess, if a player deliberately touches a rook and then his king, he is not allowed to castle on that side on that move but must still move the rook if legally possible.
