and look for clues with me...} 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 3... Nf6 {
Nothing wrong with any of that - this is the fine Two Knights' Defence.} 4. Nc3
Bc5 (4... Nxe4 $1 {is the easiest way for Black to get at least an equal game.}
5. Nxe4 (5. Bxf7+ Kxf7 6. Nxe4 d5 7. Neg5+ Kg8) 5... d5 {
The fork regains the piece.} 6. Bxd5 (6. Bb5 dxe4 7. Nxe5 Qg5) 6... Qxd5 {
Black has a fine free game, with easy development for the Bishop pair.}) 5. Ng5
$6 5... O-O 6. O-O (6. Nxf7 Rxf7 7. Bxf7+ 7... Kxf7 {gives up two active
pieces for a pawn and a Rook that probably wouldn't have been active for a
long while.}) 6... d6 7. Nd5 $2 {
Almost forces Black to play a discovered attack tactic.} 7... Nxd5 $1 8. Qh5 $6
{Logical but not best.} (8. exd5 $1 8... Qxg5 (8... Na5 9. d3) 9. dxc6 Qh4 10.

likely to be better for Black.}) 9. Bxd5 $2 {This loses a piece.} (9. Nxf7 $1

{and it's hard to see how Black can lose.}) 10. d3 10... g6 $4 {I think this
is the culprit - it weakens the King's-side for no good reason. The move
creates two big holes on h6 and f6 - see move 13!} (10... Qd7 11. Bxg5 11...
Qg4 {forces a Queen swap.}) 11. Qh6? (11. Qxg6+ $1 {
White wins a pawn, but more important gets a winning attack.} 11... Kh8 12.

covers the weak dark squares, and so Black can defend.}) 12. Bxg5 12... Qe8 $2

Black cannot put off being checkmated for long.} 13... Bxf2+ 14. Rxf2 Qe7 15.
