In retrospect,there is usually at least one mistake in a chess game.Sometimes your mistake can be game-costing.For Example look at this game.In a King's Gambit,White played a timid 9th move which allowed Black to take the reins of this game. |

|
1. e4 e5 2. f4
|
King's Gambit.I enjoy playing this opening from both sides. |
 
|
| |
|
|
2... exf4
|
I always feel accepting the gambit is the best way to go. |
|
| |
|
|
3. Nf3 g5 4. Bc4 Bg7
|
Staying with the mainline.going with 4...g4 can be okay,but it falls into White's plan of making an irrational game with openings such as the Muzio Gambit.Here Black just fianchettoes soundly. |
|
| |
|
|
5. O-O d6
|
Still building a sound position. |
|
| |
|
|
6. h4
|
White wants to undermine the g-pawn,which protects the f-pawn he is trying to win back while developing his bishop. |
|
| |
|
|
6... h6 7. d4 Nc6
|
The real purpose of this move has yet to be seen. |
|
| |
|
|
8. Nc3 g4
|
The idea behind 7...Nc6.The d-pawn will be down a defender. |
|
| |
|
|
9. Nh2
|
? Possibly the decisive mistake! 9.Bxf4!? might be the only way to make a game out of it.My opponent made an intriguing comment about this move. "I shouldn't have played 4.Bc4 if I wasn't ready to sac the knight." |
|
| |
|
|
9... Bxd4+ 10. Kh1 Qxh4
|
Now Black has a 3 pawn advantage for which White has no compensation. |
|
| |
|
|
11. Bxf7+
|
Trying to make some tactics. |
|
| |
|
|
11... Kxf7 12. Rxf4+ Nf6 13. Nd5
|
Unfortunately too little too late. |
|
| |
|
|
13... Be5
|
White resigns since R anywhere leads to Qxh2# |
