That's the Classical (or Cordel) Defense. And it looks like you fared very well against it! Smile 

 

The only comment to make is perhaps 9 e5 instead? Then 9 ... Ng8 10 Bxf7+ Kxf7 11 Qd5+ Ke8 12 Qxc5 with a nice advantage.

4...Nd4?!  7...a6?? wastes time and drives the B where it wants to go! 8...Nf6? seems to just help your attack, 8...Ne7 might hold the fort for a while. But nice finishing attack! Of course, in the final position if 14...Qxe6 15 Rxe6 Bxf2+ 16 Kh1 Bxe6 material & the game seem pretty even! Another psychological victory.
