This is an interesting game, where White presses the advantage early, but I, as Black, exploit White's overextended position and wins the game.  Enjoy, comments as well as analysis are welcome.

Not very great. Both of you messed up bigtime. if you showed it to some good chess players they would say it was a weak game.

thats cool. If he wouldn't of lined up his king and queen he'd have won. Just shows the dangers of delaying castling. It's never a good idea to put it off. In many grandmaster games both kings are in their corners around moves 4-8

My point was that, despite my being manuveured into an unteneable situation, I still managed to pressure my opponent into a mate, despite a lack of advantage in material.

 

My play was the only feasible way in the beginning to prevent the double forks, as they would have destroyed my position.

 

Please offer analysis on what you believe I did wrong, or what you believe my better defensive variations were, rather than blindly insulting without presenting an alternative variation pertaining to the game.

Here is a sample of how to defend against the early Bc4.  2... Nf6 move is the best to defend against it. Here is a simulation up to  the 4 or 5th move, the best moves aren't necessarily being played.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is an example of how trying to bet on the early fork can be dangerous, although it is the petrov defense and not the  bishop's opening, it has the similar  moves in different order.

Thanks for the line Manipulated, I was unaware of how to defend against multiple forks that early in the opening.
