1. e4	Normal opening for me here



1... e5	Normal opening for black and everyone is happy



2. Nf3	Carrying on with development



2... f6	I prefer the queenside pawn defense
	1 comment l-d-j (1747) on 13-Mar-13: Best is 2...Nc6, followed by 2...Nf6 and 2...d6. This is a bad move.


3. Bc4	Still carrying on unfazed.
	1 comment cdeburca (1923) on 13-Mar-13: You should capitalise on black's blunder instead - 3. Nxe5! It's a standard sac which is well worth knowing at your level. If black recaptures, he gets crushed very quickly.


3... c6	I guess he's hoping for a d5 move next.



4. Nc3	Still carrying on



4... Na6	Only move for that knight



5. Nxe5	I know this is a risky move that could easily go wrong but i was curious



5... fxe5	Expected and now im thinking if that was a good idea. Surely he won't fall for it. Or will he?



6. Qh5+	hahaha i checked you. It now depends on his move.



6... Ke7	WHAT?
	2 comments l-d-j (1747) on 13-Mar-13: Well.. 6...g6 would lose the rook. hselikin (1200) on 13-Mar-13: Lets him live longer though


7. Qxe5#	HAHAHAHAHAHAHA what a checkmate within 7 moves. g6 would have made him live slightly longer
