Qe7?!
Counter-positional. The Qe7 does protect the e-pawn, but more importantly it blocks the Bf8. This opening, the Gudaram or the Brazil Opening, is less good than the similar Philador's Defense because the Be7 loses a natural path of development.
3.Nc3
The most natural move, developing the QN to c3 where it helps to control the center and threatens Nd5.
3...c6
The first concession (Qe7) forces a second concession. The c6 pawn prevents Nd5 but also presents Black from naturally developing another piece, the QN.
4.d4
The most natural move, seeking further control over the center and opening lines for the QB.
4...d6
Two attacks on e5, now two defenses. Note that the Nb8 was unable to assist the defense of the e5-pawn.
5.Bc4
Yet another natural developing move, preparing 0-0
5...h6
Played undoubtedly to prevent 5...Nf6 6.Bg5, but Black's backward development cannot afford yet another preventative move.
6.a4
Inhibiting queenside expansion (...b5) and in some lines, readying a queensaide assault withg a5-a6.
6...Nf6
7.dxe5
dxe5
8.h3
Stronger than black's ...h6. Where is Black to develop the Bc8?
8...Qc7
A sign of capitulation. The queen moves for a second time to release the Bf8 and to allow ...0-0.
9.0-0
Be7
10.Qe2
Nbd7
All very similar to Philador's Defense, but Black cannot afford to lose time (Qe7-c7).
