I'll name this annotation "The Trojan Horse" - standard King's Pawn opening |

Develop King's Knight - which is customary for me leading to my preferred Scotch Game, or Ruy Lopez when I'm feeling more aggressive |

Damiano Gambit - poison chess at it's greatest. It's an enticing capture that should be avoided, because that "piece" offering comes with bad intentions. |

Gambit accepted, a common mistake taking the knight - which I refer to as the Trojan Horse |

Once the Trojan Horse has been invited inside the walls of Troy, it's only a matter of time before the Spartans sack the city.

From my frame of reference, Checkmate is inevitable at this point |

Keep Black's King in check, to separate further from his defenses |

Continued development for White, all while Black's future options are continuing to look bleak |

Bad option for Black, sacrificing the Queen's Pawn in order to free up the Queen's Bishop, while attacking White's KB, would have been a more prudent option |

The Spartans are running wild in the city! |

Only move at this point, when your King is beyond your defenses - it's not a good place to be |

Again, continued development for White while keeping Black in check |

Only move available for Black, # of moves for Checkmate is dependent upon White's response |

First move in many that White does not check Black (please see above comment) |

Shouldn't have been surprised by another poor move by Black, although I was.... Black may have prolonged Checkmate by KB to e7 |

It's as good as over with another check |
