=) thank you
not-so fantastic since Black blunders a pawn away as early as turn 5!! (considering the first 4 moves are Book Moves)!!!! =/
Is this the most common opening? When I used to start E4 this happened almost every time.
brandonqdsh - black did not do 6... Nxe5 on account of 7. d4! opening diagonals for my bishops.
JoelWd - yes, for beginning players as well as grandmasters this is a very common opening.

The main line of this variation is 6...Nxe5 7.d4 Nxe4 8Re1 Be7 played several times beginning last century by Alekhine for example. 6...0.0 is maybe not so bad though
Paul Keres 7Nxc6 dxc6 with more play for pawn for black than in the game.
Blunder! Blunder!! Blunder!!!.... black played like a beginner.
white played the most common type of opening (though i don't know what they call it). I think such types leads to an offensive game if and only if the bishops are quickly developed after the knights.
my first reaction was that black gave up pieces early without reason, giving white one pawn advantage in a game not yet fully developed, doubled pawns, and black moving backwards only helping for white to develope more quickly. it takes 2 to tango and i thought white took advantage of the situation effectively.
good game! i guess its easier to see things when u are not the one in front of the board playing. this is my humble opinion as a beginner.

Still a very aesthetically pleasing mate. Though boy did he make some poor moves with that knight.

tell me why can't black just take the knight on the 6th move? it know white can than fork the bishop and the knight but if he takes with the bishop doesn't he get his pawn back?
Yes but at a severely weakened position, letting the pawn go is better
Bb7 without c6 puzzled me - Black just jammed in his bishop!
moves 8-10 were my favorite - forced Black into a cramped, passive position, mamking it easy for me to develop my pieces into a deadly attack.
True, there were some blunders, but the point of posting this game was to show the consequences of playing a passive position, when it just takes too much time to escape the big hole.
Thanks for the comments!

6...Nxe5 7. d4 Nf6+ 8. Qxf6 Bxd4
Why isn't this a good line?
The Fiancietto of the white bishop was absolutely horrible.
The doubled C pawns could have been an advantage by playing d5 and Rb8. With possible follow ups of c5, and c6.

6...Nxe5 7.d4 Nxe4 8Re1 Be7 is ok for black. It is one of the main lines of Moller attack, which Alekhine liked for a bit, see his Best games book.
6...0-0 was daft. please feel free to correct me.
yes all very true - black could have taken on e5, but I guess he was afraid of the ensuing fork to come with tempo.
good lopez
