Well black just didn't develop, making an easy win.
Did you consider 7. Bxf4 dxc3 Nxc3, It seems like you just have 4 pieces developed to none.
Silent but Deadly "Quiet Game" Domination...

The play was pretty shocking, but your pre-game commentary was cool lol
Your higher rated opponent played like a novice, opening up the king with ridiculous pawn moves and not even hinting at developing.

Ah! I like that. 7. Bxf4 dxc3 8.Nxc3 does develop another piece (the bishop) and end up with an extra pawn than what was played.
Very sound and solid chess.
I did consider it, but opted for the central pawn phalanx on e4 and d4 instead as I favor the position of that duo (especially with the rook on d1).
It would be interesting to see how it would have been different given the variation you suggested instead and most likely would have yielded even better results. Thanks for the feedback.
In all fairness, it was more like my 3 pieces developed vs. his 2 knights I think, but yeah, black definitely lagged behind developmentally.

Totally agree. His developing of the knights was too little too late after the pawn chain.
Howdy Chess Friends,
learningthemoves here with another one for the showcase.
As usual, this one was against a higher rated opponent.
Unlike the last few where the quick checkmates were achieved with the black pieces, this time I wield the advantage of white.
Opening with my spin on the Giuoco Piano or "Quiet Game" in Italian, the time-tested bishop-queen battery trap lowers the boom on my unsuspecting opponent in just 12 moves.
Enjoy!
