Hello this was a game I saw between to amature's where one was very low rated than the other et he won the game in what can be said a blink of the eye before the real battle started. I really enjoyed t but wanted to know what you all think of it.

I don't think that game was worthy of their ratings. I just started playing serious chess about a year ago and I could see that their playing strength was weak. There were too many piece sacrafices that didn't need to be done. I think black resigned to early.
there was only one sacrifice and it was to win blacks king so what are you talking about.

Why did black resign he had initiative and was in a good shape for mate
Deruku
A queen sacriface would've been good for black, setting up and having more of a direct attack. I would have castled and continued.
