I've been practicing the Spanish Game so I can have better tournament results with it,
Spanish Game
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6
Spanish Game, Cozio Defense
and I asked my friend to play the Cozio defense,
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 Nge7
And the game that popped up was
rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 1
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 Nge7 4. Nc3 g6 ({Center control}) 5.d4 exd4 6.Nd5 Nxd5 7. exd5 Qe7+ 8. Kf1 Ne5 {Either way I can't castle, but since I have space I'll keep my queen} 9. Qxd4 Bg7 {Pin the knight to the rook, and I have decent control over white squares and development so I didn't feel threatened that bad and nabbed the pawn} 10. Bf4 f6 {Really good spot to develop and incorporate bishop with some unfinished ideas of attacks} 11. Re1 O-O
From here came a bunch of exchanges initiated by white that lead to a slow endgame and draw.
What are the main ideas and advantages of this opening?
P.S I don't think Nxd5 was the strongest move from analysing it in an engine and noticing it in the game I had tempo on the e5 square.
and my comments on the moves didn't show in the pgn (I'm not quite sure how to annotate those), but the basic idea was I am a positional player.
