In a game of speed chess, my opponent resigned after 24 moves. He was ando1893 of the United Kingdom, who played black. Here are the moves of the game along with my commentary:
1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 Nc6
3. Bb5 d6
4. 0-0 Bd7
5. c3 a6
6. Bxc6 Bxc6
Material is even, but the black king is in the centre of the board.
7. Re1 Nf6
8. d4 Bxe4
I sacrifice a pawn to create open files against the black king.
9. dxe5 Bxe3
Black should play dxe5.
10. Qxf3 dxe5
I should play exf6+. This not only captures the knight but puts the black king in check. This allows Qxf3 on the next move.
11. Rxe5+ Be7
12. h3 Rb8
A better move for black is to castle.
13. Qe2 b5
14. Bg5 Rb6
15. Na3 h6
16. Bxf6 gxf6
17. Re4 Rd6
18. Re1 Rd7
If black castles, he loses a piece.
19. Nc2 Kf8
20. Nd4 f5
21. Nxf5 Rd2
22. Qg4 Rg8
Black should play Bg5.
23. Qxh6+ Kg8
24. Nxe7+
Black resigns because he will lose his queen. In this game black fails to castle and is on the defensive for much of the game. I establish strong control of the e-file.
