What makes your "database" so special

Qh4+ does not compute illegal move does that mean Heinzkat wins?

all fine with me, OK

But Black's going to play 3. ... Qf6

White needs to come up with a plan to save the horsie

4.d4 would save the horsie.of course galloping away with 4.Nc4 might be possible too.

I have played both (because I forgot the other one), which one is to be preferred? Which one has most potential? Which one fits best in the bigger scheme of life?

I have no preference I`d be happy to let my opponent pick my move but I get 3 seconds added to my clock.

Yes d4 seems the better founded move, what's the Knight doing so far from home on c4 after only four moves (moving the same piece 3x). But I believe there is some drawback with 4. d4 that I'm unaware of. Oh Fritzie's opening book gives 4. d4 "!?", that's where the confusion in Heinzie's head comes from.
