Miniature

Theme: weakness of first horizontal.

Small opening trap.

Another unserious game. Black could resign 2 moves earlier.

This opening trap have given me many wins in blitz and especially in bullet

Another example about greed as one of the mortal sins. After greedy 17.Nxc7? (instead of simple 17.h3! with probably decisive advantage) and 18.Nxa8? black makes decisive attack to white king.

Good games those last two.
The previous one you made it look like a puzzle from the initial positon.

Black to play and win.

When I play 1.d4 in blitz games I go for 1.d4 d5 2.h3 c5 3.e4.

Pity about Kasparov's famous statement that 1.d4 then 2.Nf3
is the answer to all gambits. You hardly get a chance to pay 2...e5
these days.

Why on fifth last move, the pawn was captured by pawn although it was not a legal capture? Juat navigate the game to last sixth position and watch. I think it is aq serious code error on RHP as I have also experienced this in my one of the games.
