Common moves:
6...Nf6 - Main Line
6...Be7 - Staunton Variation

6...Nf6 is the usual move. Black aims to come out with a lead in development after an exchange of knights on f6, that will compensate for her suspect kingside pawn structure.

6...Be7 is a move that lay gathering dust on a shelf for a century and a half, between Howard Staunton losing a famous game with it against Baron Tassilo von Heydebrand und der Lasa in 1853 and the computers rediscovering it in the 1990s. It's had a very positive score from a small sample size. Black threatens to take White's pawn on h4, because taking pawns means you have more of them than your opponent does.
