With natural developing moves--and a little care--Black can equalize quite quickly against 2.Qh5. But that doesn't feel like enough, does it? Doesn't it seem as if White deserves more punishment for playing crap like that?

I always blunder this and play g6, they take with check on e5, and then take my rook

Post #16, I know black won. But I don't understand why black played 70....,Be6 instead of 70...,Bxg4? there must be a tactic that I am missing. Can someone run it through an engine and see why? please.

Well,..... The obvious response is Nc6 then Nf6 as others said.

The fun response is Nf6 and after Qxe5 Be7. Then Nc6, ope the center and attack!

If I was playing for $$$ I'd do the first and if for fun the second.

What;s the point of an eventual ...Nc6? The Queen stands very poorly at e5, no reason to kick her away. Just ...0-0 and a quick ...d5 give Black plenty of play.
