In this video, IM Alex Astaneh is covering the Polerio Defense that also arises out of the Two Knights Defense and is black's main option after white's move 4.Ng5. This variation is characterized by black's move 5...Na5 and right after that move, the position is more in black's favour as black has a space advantage with the central pawn on the e5-square, whereas white's knight on g5 looks quite lose.
The main focus of this video is on black's best responses to white's last moves:
2:35 8.Qf3
6:00 8.Bd3
10:00 8.Be2
