DON'T LOSE THE GAMES YOU SHOULDN'T. A tense end game. At move 17 I realise that although I am a piece and 2 pawns ahead, the rest of my pieces are asleep. I desperately get my pieces out as his developed rook attacks and almost pulls it off for him. |

I play the kings gambit |

1... e5 2. f4 Nc6
|
He declines the offer of the pawn |

3. Nf3 d6 4. Bc4 Bg4

He tries to pin my knight- MISTAKE- can you spot why |

|
|
|
5. Bxf7+
|
thats why- he takes the bishop and i will check with my knight on g-5 and then my q will take his bishop on g-4.
ALTHOUGH, others have pointed out - see comments- that ...KxB,
>N g5 , QxN, > f4 x Q, Bx Q and white is a piece down |
