Below is a game showing me getting mated in 10 moves.....

_JoseRCapablanca_

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 a6 4. Bxc6? (Not the proper continuation IMO. In this line of the Ruy Lopez 4.Ba4 is my recommendation.) 5. O-O? (I understand the natural instinct to castle as quickly as possible, but because of white's previous move preparations now have to be made. _JoseRCapablanca_ suggests d3, Nc3, or the even more dynamic d4!) Bg4 6. h3? (This is almost inexcusable. _JoseRCapablanca_ says 6.d3, 7.Nd2 8.Re1 9. Nf1 10. Ne3 is the best line for white in this position.) h5 7. hxg4?? (Why!, why!, why! And with this, white seals his own fate.) 8. Nxe5 Qh4! (White could have resigned here, mate cannot be averted.) 9. f3 g3 10. Rf2 Qh1#
