Andrew played this game on the internet recently – 5 minutes each on the clock, but the game was over very quickly!
White Black (Andrew)
e4 d5 (The Centre Counter Defence – a useful weapon)
exd5 Nf6 (sacrificing a pawn for rapid development)
c4 e6 (White tries to hold on to his extra pawn)
dxe6 Bxe6
b3 Qe7 (a surprising move, but often effective: the immediate threat is Bxc4+)
Qe2 Nc6
d3 Nd4 (and White is now in real difficulty: d3 didn’t achieve much for him))
Qe5 Nc2+
Kd1 Bg4+ (winning the White queen, so White resigns immediately)
The moral? Rapid development often works wonders!
