1. Nf3
the Reti, maybe. an opening with ot much anbition, in my opinion.

 
1... d5 2. d4
well, white has changed the opening to some kind of queen's pawn.

 
2... Nf6 3. Ne5
strange... in that way white plays with the same piece twice (instead of developing other pieces) with no specific plan to jestify his move. it's better to play solid like 3. c4 or 3. g3 or something like that.

 
3... c5
attack!!

 
4. Nxf7
not clear. why to sacrifice the piece. there are no one who's attacking with it...

4... Kxf7
when they give you, take. when they beat you, run.

 
5. dxc5 e5
white, with his last move, gave black also the center.

 
6. b4
not developing...

 
6... a5
breaking white's form.

 
7. Bd2
7. c3 was a bit better (in those cases it's better than Bd2).

 
7... axb4
of course. leaving white with double pawns on c file.
