1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 Bc5 4. c3
Spanish Game The Classical Variation. White's two main options after 3...Bc5 are 4. c3 and 4. O-O. Out of these two I'm opting for the slightly more flexible 4.O-O, which also rules out having to learn the unclear consequences of 4. c3 f5!?

 
4... Nge7
Pasive move the best is 4...f5. 4. O-O then black has three main possibilities: 4...Nd4, 4...Nf6 and 4...Nge7. in the line 4.c3 the best is 4...f5!?

 
5. O-O a6 6. Ba4 b5 7. Bc2 d5 8. d4 exd4
8...dxe4 this move is the best black's

 
9. Nxd4 O-O 10. Nxc6 Nxc6 11. exd5 Ne7 12. a4
Good Move, if 12...bxa4 Then 13. Bxa4 and now is imposibility 13...Nxd4 then 14. Bc6!. And if 12...Nxd4 13. axb4!!

 
12... Bb7 13. axb5 axb5 14. Qd3
King Black is vulnerable.

 
14... g6
14...Ng6 is the best defence

 
15. Rxa8 Qxa8 16. Bh6
good move attack and desarrollo

 
16... Re8 17. Qxb5 Bxd5
17...Bxd5?? The best is 17...Qa7 or 17...Bd6, Now the Black is lost.

 
18. Qxc5 Bxg2 19. Qd4
if 19...Nf5 Then 20.Bxf5 -
