New Variation of Ruy Lopez?

both my database and my engine think that 6.Ng5 is bad.

reason is that after 6..d5 7.exd5 black can chose to not play the inferior 7.Nxd5 but 7.Ne4, attacking the bishop.

doesn't matter what white choses to play on the 8th move, be it Nc3, d6, d3 or 0-0, black will end up with the bishop pair and a slight advantage.

 

so, sorry to say this ain't a new variation of the ruy but rather a line full of inferior moves by both sides that has been played before according to my databse.
