3... Nc6
following the rule to develop knights before bishops. but I think Bc5 would be fine here preventing d4.

4. g4
an attack after only one piece developed? hmmm. this really gets white behind.

4... d5
now the pawn can be taken, or if g5 then Nxe4. white has created weaknesses with the g5 move, so I will try for an open game.

another pawn move to protect the weak g4 pawn. the dark squares are weakining around the king. he needs to play d3 and then Bg4 and Qd2 so he can castle queenside.

5... dxe4
free lunch! if d3 and Bg5 were played this would not be possible.

 
6. g5
the one pawn attack! such a brave little guy! Where are all the troops in the army? sleeping in the barracks?? What kind of army has only one brave soldier?

 
6... Nd5 7. Nxe4 Bf5
my troops rush to the frontier line en-mass!!

 
8. Bg2 Nf4
this attack is justified! it prevents further development and threatens material gain!

 
9. Rh2
like a stack of dominoes, once the first one falls, so go the rest.

 
9... Nxg2+ 10. Rxg2 Bxe4 11. Rg3 Nd4
perhaps I should have just continued developing here.

 
12. d3 Bg6 13. c3 Nc6
white has only developed the rook, and his pawns are a mess. black is a piece up with two pieces developed and no pawn weeknesses. Remember that each pawn move creates weak squares behind it.

 
14. b4
another pawn attack? pawn storms are effective, but perhaps only after development and ensuring king safty by castling.

 
14... Bd6
continuing with my development.

 
15. a4 O-O 16. Ba3 e4
in order to open up the center and attack the king that is still there.

 
17. b5 Bxa3 18. Rxa3 Ne5 19. Kf1 exd3
now I have a passed pawn.

 
20. Nf3 Qd6
combining the defence of the knight with an attack on the rook. also this move is developing. the rooks are connected. once the rooks come to the center my development is complete.

 
21. Nd4
it is nice to put the knight in the center! but your rook hangs.
