Cheeky 9 Move mate as black, using Blackburne Shilling gambit

Sort:

Just a neat little quick mate I thought Id post. Only from a live game, but still, quite nice considering no blindingly obvious blunders etc...

Comments welcome.

I would call 8.Be3 a blindingly obvious blunder.

I do love the Blackburne shilling Gambit.

Maybe it is just me , but I don't see the gambit part of the  Blackburne shilling Gambit.

Can someone explain?

Yep. 8. 0-0 seems like the obvious move to make...

 I'm thinking the gambit part is 4. Nxe5, which white didn't take advantage of.

Ok so fair enough, it is quite a big blunder, but it is a live match so you know.
