You're joking right? 1900 USCF. What's that...like 700 FIDE?
Albeit hyper gambit, amazing victory, beautiful attacking game
Pardon me for being a n00b, but after the material disadvantage, did you actually have a counter for 17...g6 or did you just relied the entire game on being certain of your opponents' greed?
I'm also confused at 3...dxc4. It seems to be an useless waste of tempo.
Please correct my mistakes. My rating is nowhere near 1900...

Quite alright, all people do need to learn. I myself am a 2140 at the Sacramento Chess Club also, if you will see my profile you will see.
Lets analyse this position. after 17... g6, the move 18. h5! will simply decimate blacks position. After g6 falls, blacks material advantage will seem downright insignificant as his kingside falls into shambles.
3... dxc4 is a mistake. 3... dxe4, the TRUE Albeit Gambit, will lead to different game play.
4. b3, on the other hand, is a new variation being pioneered by GM Trololov, a young rising star in Russia. If you want to know more, PM yours truly or snowycards, we are testing it at the club.

It doesn't strike me like White is really getting enough compensation for the pawns in this opening. Black was kind of careless in defense, even prior to overlooking the mate in one. What was the time control on this game?
17... Bxg5 18.hxg5 g6, and I don't see a mate from there. You're running out of pieces to throw at the attack. 16...Bc6 might also work to disrupt things.

you look like you mispelled your name john bernard

No offense or anything, but it seems to me that black played horribly. I would suspect that almost any 2000 rated player would be able to handle this sort of thing with ease. Am i missing something here?

Well, what do we learn from this game? Threatening mate in one is strong. Not defending against such a threat is weak. Nothing much more going on, sorry.

I find it hard to believe that he would not see something as simply as: bishop takes knight, white's pawn recaptures, black blocks queen with rook, thus escaping checkmate.

15. Rxa2 is a real lemon. Even if your kingside attack works, there's no reason to sac the rook and knight to play it. Just play 15. Ng5 straight away. Then either
1) 15. ... g6 16. Nxh7 Kxh7 17. h5 or
2) 15. ... Bxg5 16. hxg5 g6 17. Rxh7 Kxh7 18. Qh3+ Kg8 19. Qh6
And maybe you have an attack in these lines.
just a recent game at around 1900 USCF. he played french defense and i offered albeit hyper gambit, he accepted and i had a plan in mind
take a look, i annotated
comment and criticism please
