In a game of speed chess, my opponent resigned after only 13 moves. He was r8ramya of India, who played white. Here are the moves of the game along with my commentary:
1. d4 Nf6
2. Bf4 g6
3. Nc3 d5
White usually develops the c-pawn before the knight to control more of the centre.
4. Nf3 a6
5. e3 Bg7
6. h3 0-0
Developing the f-bishop to prepare castling is a better move for white.
7. Bd3 c5
8. dxc5 Nc6
White accepts the sacrifice.
9. a3 Re8
It is better for white to castle.
10. Ne5 Nh5
11. Nxc6 bxc6
12. Bh2 e5
13. b4 e4
White blunders. A better move is to castle.
White resigns because I have a double attack. His bishop on d6 and knight on c6 are both threatened at the same time. White's failure to castle is one of the reasons for his quick defeat.
