Perhaps there is some wisdom in learning how to play such "simple looking" positions and in leaving the Ruy Lopez, etc. to the grandmasters. Note that this type of position can be reached either by the Four Knights Opening, as in the present game, or by the Scotch Opening {MB}. 5...Bb4

Better alternatives are 11...Be7; 11...h6; 11...Bg4; and 11...Rb8. 11...Bd6 looks aggressive, but Black has no realistic kingside attacking chances. 12.Nd4
