1. e4 e5 2. f4
Interesting so far. F4 is actually a pretty bad move usually but if he can clutter up the centre with his pawns and knights (which he does very well) he may live to tell the tale.

 
2... exf4
Obvious move. This is a King's gambit accepted, supposedly an "antiquated" opening. Apparently not.

 
3. Nf3
On my database, this move is played 8 times out of 10. Why would anyone play anything else?

 
3... Nf6
At this point my computer claims that g6,d6 or d5, not nf6 are the best moves.Interesting.

 
4. Nc3
Correct move here is definitely e5 but nc3 is the next best thing.

 
4... Bc5
Developing.

 
5. d4
My Computer is half for and half against. 2 lines say i'm losing 2, say i'm winning.

 
5... Bb4 6. Bd3
This stops 6. ... Nxe4, because the knight cannot retake due to it being pinned to the king.

 
6... O-O 7. Bxf4 d5
! This move wins a piece and destroys white's position. He just doesn't know it yet.

 
8. O-O
This does make the positional damage slightly less painful but perhaps he should have concentrated on his E pawn?

 
8... Bxc3 9. bxc3 dxe4
This beautiful move is the reason why i played d5. White resigns because, like I said, he is a piece down and his position shattered.
