How do i play against danish gambit ( either if its danish gambit or danish gambit reversed aka from black)

I always lose under pressure because i dont know how to defend well against its aggressive nature lol

What the heck is that Danish gambit reversed? Do you mean 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d5, AKA Elephant gambit?

White can play in similar fashion, with Nf3 thrown in for free, which is certainly a bonus. Sample:

Those moves are not possible (3... Bc5), must have made a typo.

He obviously forgot to insert 1...e5 2.Nf3- now it makes more sense.
