Here's a recent 5 min-blitz game I played on FICS. I think it'll demonstrate a few things about the Ulvestad Variation of the Two Knights Defense, what the objectives behind the opening are, and what some pitfalls playing against it are.

 

Without further ado, here it is. I forgot to flip the board, forgive me:

  Absurd, on your  14).......e4,  if your opponent  had played 15) Kg2!    what would you do?    Work it out and you will see that you do not have a Win!

After Kg2, exf3+ wins a pawn. At that point, getting my rooks into the game and using my kingside majority would be in order. Those four kingside pawns to one should probably denote a winning endgame.
