    6. d6 is a blunder. You have to challenge the advance Knight with c3

    White is lost. Instead of black playing bh3 should play  Qf4+ . wins the queen or  mate with nf4. From the top example

    To OP: There are whole books on the 2 Knights Defense, you know.

    IM pfen has a habit of throwing cold water on people's fantasy variations by actually looking at the board and then looking one move further. Maybe it's a habit we should all try to cultivate!

    It's no disgrace not to know a variation and to fall into a bad position, as White did in this game, but unless you're going to look up the opening afterwards and find out where you went wrong, you're kind of wasting your time. As pointed out, 6.d6 is not best, but it's not a stupid move, particularly if you're not familiar with this line. But 7.Nxf7 was a real blunder, and it wasn't that hard to see. In any case, I hope White looked this opening up after the game and learned something

    Thank you IM Pfren for your insights. I know this old game but I never play e4 - not a single game since I started playing on this site. Always 1 d4. 

    Thank you, Smile
