Comments.Text: `6.d4` with the simple idea of holding onto the `e5` pawn. Your next should be `Bf4` -> `Bc4` -> `0-0`, with winning position.

  You're not down material, so just develop.
  
  `6.d4` allows both your bishops to get in the game while keeping strength in the center. After that, you can develop your minor pieces and castle very efficiently. You're going to have a swell game.
  
  I wouldn't worry too much about `7... f6`. That move weakens his Kingside. And since you're up a pawn, the best he can do is retake on `e5` and give himself an isolated pawn. `8. Bf4` develops a piece and puts an eye on the under-defended `c7` square.
  
  Furthermore, after `Bf4`, you can plan for `Nc3` followed by `O-O-O` (castling on the queenside) where your rook will thunder on the `d` file.
