One of those games which are lovely to play. White's king goes for a little walk, encouraged by the offer of a pawn and then a bishop, both of which he accepts and white resigns rather than get mated on move 20. Of course afterwards Fritz tells me how I could have done it quicker! |

Although generally it is not a good idea to move pieces twice in the opening, here it is justified, as there is the attack on the bishop. |

Hitting the bishop again. |

He retreats, although 4. f3 is more commonly played and scored better. |

I think 10. d5 e4 11. fxe4 Bxb2 12. Nd2 Bxa1 13. Qxa1 O-O is probably a better attempt by white - he has a pawn as compensation for being the exchange down. As played he gets torn apart. |
