One move a day (3)

Not to harp on about 5. Bc4, but after 5. ... Nb6 6. Bd3 I still think white is in a pleasant position. Kingside castling is available; the bishop is developed, and while it is black to move, their options are more restricted than white's. Only my opinion, but I like the idea of debate in this thread 🙂

....c6 here too

...h6

1.e4 Nf6 2.e5 Nd5 3.d4 d6 4.Nf3 g6 5.Ng5 f6

exf6

6. Bc4 🙂

6.Bc4 would be my choice.

6 Bc4

looks solid.

6. ... Nb6 but only because I don't think the exchange would be good for white.

Edit: for black*.

In my opinion both sides of move 5 were terrible, but then again I am not a top dog, as they say.
Nb6 looks good for Black in my mind.

From Black's point of view, and it is his/her move, that is a good thing.
