hmmm
if you where black i think you should have used your other knight (Kc6) thereby limiting white advancing pawn to d4.. or was this the "new" part of it ?
Trying something a little different
Sort:
could you have played 17. Nb6, hitting the N and the B? just a thought.

Do you mean 15...Nb6?
16. Ndxe7+ Kh7 17. Bb3 is nasty
sorry - 16...Nb6

2... d6 is about the oldest "new move" I've seen. It's one of the main lines (perhaps even the mainest).
By the way, 7... Ng4 is dubious because after 8 Bb5+ you are pretty much forced to give up castling with 8... Kf8.
Yeah, it looks like 16... N5b6 would've caused White some trouble...so I think he should've just played 16 Bxd5. Also, 15 h4 looked strong.
By "new move" I was talking about new in terms of whether I've played it or not. :)
I've made mistakes automatically recapturing before and I realise I completely misplayed the opening. :P
Here's last nights club game.
I decided to try a new opening, which didn't go well.
Fortunately my opponent gave me a bishop, then a rook, the lastly his queen.
I certainly won't be playing 2...d6 for a while!
