1. e4
|
The other day, I couldn't resist having a peak through my buddy, The Dentist's past games profile because his rating had suddenly shot up about 18 points. I saw this brevity and I couldn't help playing through it to see how The Dentist managed to pulverise his opponent in just TWELVE MOVES! I saw how, he showed his opponent the utter folly of leaving the Fool's Mate diagonal unprotected. Yes, white was certainly awakened from a Fool's Paradise. |

1... Nc6 2. f4 e5
|
2......... e5 - transposes into a sort of King's Gambit declined. |

3. f5
|
3. f5? - bad move - this leaves the Fool's Mate diagonal unprotected to the BQ. Better was Nf3 guarding the h4 square and developing a piece at the same time - in this case white will now drop a pawn as 3........ Qh4 forks WK and e4 pawn. |

|
3... Qh4+ 4. g3 Qxe4+
|
4. ........ Qxe4 - after 4. g3?? this allows another queen fork on e4 and the WR on h1 is toast. The Dentist may have a low rating, but as you saw with my earlier annotated game "In the Dentist's Chair" in which I very nearly lost he is not to be underestimated! Now white really feels the drill as a lot of enammel is about to disappear from his side of the board!! |

5. Qe2 Qxh1 6. Nf3
|
6. Nf3 - develops a piece but three moves too late. The Dentist now develops very sensibly bringing out a knight to f6. |

|
| |
|
|
6... Nf6 7. Qc4
|
7. Qc4?? - white tries to counter-attack by zeroing in on f7 with his queen but he leaves the f3 knight en prise. |

7... Qxf3 8. Be2
|
8. Be2 - develops a piece but white is way down on material. Had it been me I would have resigned when I knew I was going to drop a rook even though The Dentist is 300 points south of my rating. But I don't think I would have left the Fool's Mate diagonal unprotected in the first place. |

8... Qh1+ 9. Kf2
|
9. Kf2 - would interposing with 9. Bf1 been any better? Now the WK is driven into open country. |

|
| |
|
|
9... Qxh2+
|
9. ........... Qxh2 , yet still more ennamel is drilled away!! |

|
| |
|
|
10. Kf3 e4+
|
10. ....... e4 - deadly pawn stab! |

|
| |
|
|
11. Ke3 Qxg3+ 12. Bf3
|
12. Bf3 - white throws in the sponge after playing this move because he knows that when the Dentist next comes on line, white is going to cop Old Matey on f3! |
