Polerio Defence

Today I will be sharing to you guys the Polerio Defense. This is considered to be one of the best ways to play against the Knight Attack, especially you do not want to get Fried-Liver attacked. the line is 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.Ng5 d5 5.exd5 Na5. The move with the knight threatens the bishop and balances the position and is blacks best shot at stopping any major offensives. White will usually follow with 6.Bb5+ c6 7.dxc6 bxc6 8.Bd3. Despite Black losing a pawn, and messed up pawn structure, the position is equal because it is quite difficult to develop the queen side pieces. This is the best line for the Knight Attack and everytime I play the Knight Attack against, Stockfish(one of the most advanced chess engines), it always plays the line. Here is it on a board:
