In response to 1.e4, Black plays e5 to control the central squares and challenge White's control of them. This move also allows Black's pieces to enter the game more easily, especially the knight on f6. Moreover, by playing e5, Black aims to gain space and limit the potential mobility of White's pawns.

Additionally, Nf3 opens up the possibility of launching an early attack by playing d4 and threatening to capture the pawn on e5.

Additionally, exd4 prepares for the eventual development of Black's light-square bishop and potentially clears the way for a future pawn break with ...c5.

This move also opens up lines for Black's pieces and puts pressure on the knight on c3. Additionally, dxc3 clears the c-file for Black's rook and potentially puts pressure on the weakened pawn on c3. However, playing dxc3 can also expose Black's king and weaken their pawn structure, especially if White is able to open up lines and launch an attack.

Furthermore, d6 reinforces Black's pawn structure and helps defend the pawn on c7. Moreover, this move clears space for Black's pieces and allows for better coordination among them.

Additionally, Bc4 supports the idea of castling kingside and makes it difficult for Black to push the pawn on d5. Moreover, by placing the bishop on c4, White can threaten Black's knight on f6 and create some tactical possibilities.

In sum, O-O is a key move that aims to bring White's pieces into play and secure the king for the ensuing battles.

However, playing Nxe5 also exposes the knight to potential attacks and can leave the White king exposed if Black is able to launch an attack. In sum, Nxe5 is a powerful and dynamic move that aims to both gain material advantage and put pressure on Black's position.
