For example, we all know what to do when the opponent plays the Domiano Defense, as after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 f6 3.Nxe5 is the main response since 4.Qh5+ if black takes the N. But, until the Q sac lecture, I kept forgetting that, and my response was the same as one of my students. So, after 2...f6?!, I, at the time, answered with 3.Nc3 which is calm developing move but extremely passive. But, sacking his Q knocked common sense into to me. As with the lecture, playing the Domiano's Defense and capturing the piece illustrates how important the f2/f7 squares are and what happens when you remove the weakest pawns. There's more of that where it came from right here from TA. gameknot.com

Sorry, my dad got very ill and I wasn't able to respond here, because I kept forgetting of course, sorry
Anyways, that's very interesting about Fool's Mate. And here I hardly ever knew anything about it before.

It was the importance of the f7 square. There were other examples of such, as well. As noted, TA's blitz Q sacs, and my game against Nathan on Friday December 7th, which I posted in the WTW Game Discussions. The only reason for not annotating it is that it was a R odds game, and it's very hard to annotate something when you start off without a R because they make you start off with everything on the board to annotate.
In the meantime, Joann just defeated an expert which is another example of beating a runner. gameknot.com

I generally wouldn't add here with how little knowledge I have of the game. But, I found out, at work, that Master Nathan defeated a 2523 rated player.
