It is mentioned that 1.e5 is a winning move. However, what if the response was 2.d8/2.e7 , can anyone elaborate why it's still winning?

After 1.e5 2.d8:

3.e6 (conected either to c8 or to f7)

After 1.e5 2.e7:

3.d7 (immiediate connection)

I'm glad someone was able to read that. In my Firefox browser, I saw:

Maybe my Linux Mint OS is missing some font?

David: Did you try highlighting the entire text of Sean Pek's original message? I think perhaps he is using something like a white or clear font. I presume this was to hide the answer from anyone who didn't want any spoilers. My apologies if you already thought of this, and it doesn't work.
