Back From The Dead
Good grief (that was just plain sad).
You shouldn't be viewing the play of low ranked mortals. Stay on the happy side.
But it was fun...
It reminds me of my old days before I figured out how to play something that passes for a good game. I now refer to this as the "hack and slash" style of chess: like knights with broadaxes having at it. The helmets keep the fighters from seeing much beyond the target of the next blow.
After White's 4.d5 I knew it would end badly for him. (dxe would have forced Bxf3 to not lose the e-pawn after a Q trade.) Then he plays 10. Ke2 instead of dxc6 e.p. which would have left Black saddled with a backward pawn on the d-file after c4.
But you can't argue with fun.

Fair enough, I suppose...but don't try to turn some completely cheap mate in 1 into a grandiose lesson about "using the king." The poor guy lost his grip on the oxygen mask or something and you lucked out: that's the truth of the matter.
I supose with that rational, you could say...
At the start of the game, I lost my grip on the oxygen mask or something and he lucked out until I got my mask back on.

I agree, if there's no fun in it, there better be some good money or i'm going back to work! (see chess for money topic in forum the other day), ...
well that only leaves fun or work...
hard decision!...
