I disagree. It blocks Qh4+.

But that can’t be played due to the knight on f6?

If you must, play it after e5

e5 is the correct way to seize the advantage

Queens cannot jump over knights (or other pieces). Are you playing some odd chess variant?

3...exf4 is bad because of 4.e5, while 4.Nf3?! (transposition to a king's gambit line) can be answered by 4...d5 which is probably somewhat better for Black.

In the game, you played 5.e5 after Nf3, which gives Black two good options- 5...Nh5 and 5...Ng4 (none of them would be possible with the knight at g1).

For that game, you would actually want to play Nf3 because your opponent moved their queenside knight, leaving open the option for Qh4+. Nf3 prevents that idea.

I think you should play e5 before kb3

Nooo don't make this popular. I want to keep it for myself.
