This game exemplifies why one shouldn't invest a lot of time playing the Tennsion Gambit, or the ICBM. I will note... that I play extensively the Center Counter Defense and normal development moves check the Tennsion, ICBM and the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit. That said... regardless of the defense Black plays... once you get above a certain ELO the tricks that these openings are based upon don't work... and what you have left is a loosing position.
