DON'T LOSE THE GAMES YOU SHOULDN'T. A tense end game. At move 17 I realise that although I am a piece and 2 pawns ahead, the rest of my pieces are asleep. I desperately get my pieces out as his developed rook attacks and almost pulls it off for him.  |

1. e4 
 | 
I play the kings gambit | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
1... e5 2. f4 Nc6 
 | 
He declines the offer of the pawn | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
3. Nf3 d6 4. Bc4 Bg4 
 | 
He tries to pin my knight- MISTAKE- can you spot why | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
5. Bxf7+ 
 | 
thats why- he takes the bishop and i will check with my knight on g-5 and then my q will take his bishop on g-4.
ALTHOUGH, others have pointed out - see comments- that  ...KxB,   
>N g5 , QxN,  > f4 x Q,  Bx Q and white is a piece down    |
