Qf7# 1-0
Your opponent did not have to play 6...d6 in the game. 6...Qg5 would have been a better defense, but you are still winning.
After 5. Nxe5, the best continuation is 5...fxe5 6. Qh5 Ke7 7. Qxe5+Kf7 8. Bc4+ where you have a crushing attack and will eventually win much more material than if 5. dxe5 fxe5 6. Nxe5 Qg5.
Not a big deal though - both moves are crushing.

I am playing white.
5. Nxe5 would have left me even in terms of material after 10 moves. Whereas, after playing 5. dxe5 I was able to checkmate on move 8.
Why is the Game Review telling me to play 5. Nxe5 if it leaves me even instead of victorious?
