1500 player plays like garbage in blitz and loses

I don't know why he did that thing with the knight so you could take it, maybe he was on drugs. I wasn't overly impressed by your 13th and 14th moves, either. What the hell were you thinking, moving your king over like that instead of just castling?

That's a pretty critical element that wasn't disclosed in the OP, so it's good we got it out on the record. He obviously thought it was worth a knight to get one of his checks in, and since I've played only a couple of three-check games in my life, my opinion isn't worth anything, so I'll bow out now.
