Help: lost to a stranger at the pub

Bijaz

I was soundly defeated by a man I met at a local pub. The game was recorded as we played:

 

I believe I spent too much energy toward undermining his plans instead of focusing on my early advantages. Your input is valued Laughing

Bg4 instead of Bf5

I didnt see any compensation for the pawn sac whatsoever.  If that is a legitimate sac, go back and look at the theory because you messed up early.  You sacc'd a pawn to get an inferior position.  You can do that for free.

Right you are. I have known that the pawn sac is unsound, however I did not known why. What other replies to d4 does black have that will continue to accelerate development or create a dynamic and active play?

If you were in a pub you should have plyed him with stronger drink!

Oh well, at least you didn't get beaten by a bozo, your opponent played a strong game.
