It looks like you just ignored what your opponent was doing until after you had castled. It worked out very well. Good game.

I can see why that one tricked you. I will have to see if I can remember that one to possibly get revenge on my OTB opponents that tricked we after my return to OTB play. On of them apologized for treating me like that on my first game back. But I enjoyed it and laughed with him.

I hardly got tricked. I was scared to death, and I saw nothing in that position. I can understand not seeing the mate because I'm unfamiliar with the opening, but I should have at least noticed that my knight was hanging.

I have never seen that pawn sacrifice move before either. That is why I would like to try it against some of my tricky chess club members to see if it might work at least one time against one of them.

P.S. You looked like you were playing natural moves and it worked with you. Next time some one plays the QP against me I am going to try it and see what happens.

Very one-sided game in terms of ratings, but fun anyway.

Very good. Your last few moves opened him up for the kill. Even if he had not taken your bishop you had the advantage over him anyway.

12...f6 seems to be his first big mistake that let you get in.

If you're not an idiot cheat, then you're perfect at pretending to be one. I haven't seen a useful post from you yet.

I suggest that you never read any of my posts again. You might become an idiot, if you are not one already. 😏

That is a good game for you. I enjoyed it. Except I wish he had not lost his queen so quickly. However, then it might have went more than the 20 moves. The gambit idea was one I don't recall seeing before. Perhaps your opponent was surprised by it too.

P.S. I don't know where my head is, that is a delayed queens's gambit. I haven't went to bed yet and it is 6;15 AM here. I guess I need to take a break but I fell asleep in th chair a little while ago and thought I had gotten enough sleep.
