That was my prefered opening for a while before I quit playing. I still bring the knights forward like I'm working that opening, but I forgot how it goes after I place the two knights.
Does anyone know how it's supposed to go? Is it popular for anyone else?
I like it because the knights can guard multiple pawns easily, and are pretty mobile.
I don't have time to go through your games but you could do with few set of chess books on :-
- the opening (there are more openings than 2/4 knights)
- the middlegame
- the endgame

It is a particular defense not any old game where the 4 Knights are bought out. It is solid and reliable but in my opinion rather boring and drawish so best avoided by white.

That's my considered opinion.

Talking about the four nights defence (I assume you don't mean the four nights in the english...). A year ago I was experimenting some with the petroff (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6) I found it to be extremely common among lower rated players to stear the game into the four nights by playing 3.Nc3 Nc6

Thats the point I was trying to make which is why I posted a 4 Knights game (well got the reference wrong and posted a Morra gambit actually) - lots of people seem to assume the 4 Knights is any game where the 4 Knights are bought out which, of course, is not the case.
I assume we are talking about the 4 Knights solely.
