Why is d6 is preferred to Nc6 after 1.e4 e5 2. Qh5?

Sort:
blunder_by_misclick

How come d6 is better according to chess.com analysis? Nc6 develops a piece, I don't see what d6 does (besides protecting the pawn)

It doesn’t seem like it prefers d6. The lines the chess.com analysis is giving me are Nc6 and Qe7
blunder_by_misclick

Well, that's odd, must be some sort of fluke then.

whats 32*46 quick you have 5 seconds

chess.com game review is very short sighted, this is well known, it isnt deep enough its only meant for a quick glance at roughly how well you did and a rudimentary blunder check
