Another quick loss to Freddy.
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4. Ng5 Bc5 5. Bxf7+ Ke7 6. d4
Here Freddy tries a pawn sac to open the position.

 
6... Nxd4 7. Bd5 Rf8
Black wants to defend f7.

 
8. c3 Ne6
?! I thought the doubled pawns were acceptable due to the open files and piece exchange.

9. Bxe6 dxe6 10. Qe2
Freddy does not want a queen exchange and now Black has to be careful.

 
10... h6 11. Nf3 Bd6
Not the best choice, I think Nd7 is better.

12. Nbd2 Nd7 13. O-O c6
Black tries to get the Q out and possibly defend e5.

 
14. Nc4 Bb8 15. b3
A strong move, bringing the Bishop out to attack along the diagonal.

 
15... b5
?! I was trying to provoke complications.

 
16. Ba3+ c5 17. Nfxe5
This was an unexpected blow!

 
17... bxc4
?? ...NxN is forced, but I missed the N fork winning the Q.

 
18. Nc6+
Black resigns, the position is hopeless.
