When inexperienced players are confronted with complexities, they usually fail. This game is a case in point.

We all used this move, back then...

 
1... e5
...and almost always replied with this.

I decided to vary from the norm, just for the hell of it.

Playing out the string.

 
6... Qxh2
Taking the free Pawn.

Finishing the game elegantly.
