A good example of what can happen when someone doesn't know how to deal with the english. You will see some rather innaccurate play on my part, and a missed mate, but it was my first game, and mistakes make good teaching tools.

That bishop sacrifice was very suspect, you were quite lucky that your opponent blundered away the rooks.  This was a losing game on your part if your opponent played more accurately.

But still nice game, you did well to capitalize on your opponents mistakes.

Well, in point of fact Black was just a piece up...till he made an even worse hang than White did.

Yeah, the failure of that bishop move is a good example of why playing down to an inferior opponent is a bad idea. If you are better, accurate play will show it- not poorly laid traps.
