Daniel King: Powerplay 27: The King's Gambit

If you are playing a World Championship match, Daniel King wouldn’t recommend playing the King’s Gambit. But if that doesn’t apply to you, then get stuck in. You have nothing to lose but your bishop’s pawn.

Just one question regarding the Quade variation:

Regarding 1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.Nf3 g5 4.Nc3 the author does not cover 4...d6(!), since then the Quaade Continuation is just incredibly bad (5.g3? g4 6.Nh4 Be7!N and Black is much, much better after A) 7.Ng2 f3 8.Nf4 h5! or B) 7.Nf5 Bxf5 8.exf5 h5!). And also the speculative gambit 5.d4 g4 6.Bxf4 does not seem to work in account of 6...gxf3 7.Qxf3 Nc6 8.Bb5 Bd7 9.0-0-0 Qh4 10.g3 and now 10...Qh3! with a big advantage for Black.

So... what is Black doing after 4...d6 against the Quaade?
