  Based off your position; I let the engine play it out and the below was the "best" output I received. This is just an old fashioned slog for the centre. A lot of trading going on.
  [Event "Analysis Request"]
  [Site "?"]
  [Date "2020.09.09"]
  [Round "?"]
  [White "Unknown"]
  [Black "Unknown"]
  [Result "*"]
  [SetUp "1"]
  [FEN "rnbqkb1r/ppp2ppp/8/4N3/4n3/8/PPP2PPP/RNBQKB1R w KQkq - 0 1"]
  [PlyCount "10"]
  
  1. Qe2 Qd5 2. Nd3 Be7 3. f3 Nd6 4. Nf4 Qc6 5. Nd3 O-O *
  
  
  
  1. Qe2 Ngf6 2. Nd2 Qd5 3. Nxe4 Nxe4 4. Qb5+ c6 5. Qxd5 cxd5
  
  Based of the board;
  Blacks castled to safety, the white Queen is in danger of (Re8 ... Bh4+). White feels "under developed" and has less control of the board.
