Instructive Quickie

I felt bad for my opponent and friend in this game. He played some moves that clearly violated openning principals and was soundly punished. I came up with no brilliancies. It just played itself.

I think it's a very instructive example of what not to do and why, especially for beginners.

Enjoy!

Nice game, thanks for posting it.

move 9 was my favorite

Good example......major violation of principles.......developed queen too early and didn't castle before mounting an attack......recipie for disaster. King safety priority number 1 for me .......usually, and when it's not it's usually certain defeat.

I meant to mention not castling, but I don't know if you can go back in and edit the comments.

I learned these principles the hard way. I thank my senior club members for teaching me much during post-mortem kibbitzes. This is why I post games like this.
