It does, but the knight's dead no matter where she moves after 6... Ng4 so let's call it a postponing.

Why go to the storyline, when you can go straight to the finish?

After 6. ... Ng4 7. g3 the knight now has an escape square on g2, so let's call it a failure to win the knight. :-)

You will if you listen to Loomis... his analysis is usually pretty accurate! 
It just takes practice. You have to actively practice seeing where all the pieces go. There are good ways to train tactics on the internet, like chess tactics server: chess.emrald.net
The opponent youre playing I think Ng4 would be pretty good since Qf6 could threaten checkmate and your opponent might miss it... but gj Loomis
A game I played earlier today. Enjoy :) Also, comments are welcome :)
