Looks like scholars mate to me. Kind of ironic that he played this move as I had just watched a video about how to stop scholars mate. |

Instead of attacking his queen with my g pawn I protect my e pawn. g6 would allow his queen to take my e5 pawn with check and forking my rook on h8. |

Part of the scholars mate set up. Allows him to back up his queen. 4. Qxf7# |

This was a mistake. I should have played h6 instead and my life would have been a lot easier. |

Pins my knight to my queen. This will be a thorn in my side for several moves. |

Protecting my queen but not sure of my purpose. |

Now pins the knight to my king. The knight on f6 is double pined. |

So I can bring my white bishop out. |

Going to try and relieve some pressure in my position. |

Why not just a4 in move 12? |

Creating myself a half open b file. |

I'm not sure what his purpose was in this move. If he needed a knight there why not Nbc3? |
