Anyone got good game examples of games where lack of development lost a game, or early development won a game?
I ask because when I get a development edge I'm not sure how to take advantage of it.
Thanks guys.

If you can use it to achieve checkmate that is ok too 😉

Game 3672497
Also 10.Ng5 & the R lift look like a particularly weak attempted KS attack.
A case of a Morra game where someone plays their favourite moves by wrote without taking into account the defence used.
Well played though.🙂
