I just recommend g6 instead of Nh6

LM_player
3...Nh6 is easier for White to play against because the knight is misplaced on the edge of the board. 3...g6 followed by 3...Nf6 is far more natural.

Also, an experienced WQA player will know that 5. Nc3 (shown in the 2nd diagram) is a mistake, as it allows Black’s knight to immediately jump to d4, causing havoc. The mainline is 5. Ne2 which develops a knight and guards the d4-square. 6. Nbc3 can be played after the threat of ...Nd4 is addressed.

I have played 2...Nc6 and 2..Nf6

I prefer Nf6 followed by Be7 which I think is called the kiddie gambit they used to be a website mentioning it run by a user on chess.com but I can't remember it, basically get all your pieces out and play chess.
