How does black proceed in the Danish Gambit?  Is it sound?  I have been beaten so many times with it and I cannot seem to hold the two pawn advantage.  Help from the community is appreciated.

Sorry, I made a mistake, of course White plays 10 Nxd2, position equal.

I think Black can gain an advantage from the Danish Gambit as somebody was telling me ... i don't know how though

Well, in a manner of speaking, equality is an advantage for Black...Foot in mouth

Well, the problem I have had with the endgame variation is that the danish gambit fanatics know the endgame much better than I do.  I was hoping there was a way to defend the material successfully
