PCG on ICC

Here are a couple of Philidor Counter Gambits, filled with mistakes, from the Internet Chess Club. In the first game, according to Fritz8, Black should have countered 11.Nc3 by playing 11...g6, prepared to answer 12.Nxd5 (12.Nxb5 Na6=) with 12...Qe5 13.Nf4 Nc6 14.Nxe6 Qxe6=. The second game is completely winning for Black after 6...Kxf7 until he loses his queen on move 18.
