Well, I did say, "If White played accurately" that he could nullify the initiative. BUt if he plays inaccurately, stuff like this happenes. 🙂

Well, we seem to be at pretty close to the same strength. Want to try it out? Rated or unrated, set piece or not, I'll leave it up to you. 😀

Here is a brief game with a similar early attack by white's queen and bishop. I am trying to figure out why Black resigned instead of taking the white queen with his knight and having a huge advantage in material. What am I missing?

UPON FURTHER REVIEW...

It appears Duckfan and Hynix specialize in that sort of opening. Hmmm.

i suspect black makes minor errors every now and then.
