1. e4 e5 2. a3 b6 3. Nf3 Bb7
Black counters the threatened pawn with a fletchetted bishop.

 
4. Nxe5 Nh6
The a3 move white made is a bit weak, but putting the knight on the sideline is weaker yet.

 
5. d3 Bd6 6. d4
The e4 pawn remans ripe for plucking.

 
6... Bxe4 7. Bxh6 gxh6
This is why that knight move is weak, black’s rook pawns are doubled.

8. Bc4 Rg8
Why not Bxg2 instead? This would mess up white’s king side castle. I know they call that the poison pawn, but Rg8 traps black’s f pawn.

The old school’s mate. Black is going to lose a pawn.
