A fun King's Gambit win

Here is my first attempt at posting one of my games. This was a King's Gambit game I played the other day. There are some very tricky lines in the King's Gambit, and my opponent in this game underestimated the danger. After my move 9.Re1, Black is really in a jam. If the black queen moves, then 10.Re8 is checkmate. Black decided to resign on move nine rather than lose his queen. This was a fun and quick game, and I hope others enjoy it!

I doubt your opponent thought it was fun.

7..g5 was the losing move.
