1.e4 b6 {Inspired by Korch!} 2.Bc4 e6 3.Bb3 Bb7 4.d3 Nc6 {Sheer nonsense} 5.Ne2 Qh4 {More of the same} 6.O-O Bd6 {ditto} 7.f4 Nf6 {Inviting the fork!} 8.e5 Bc5+ 9.d4 Ng4 {a little attempt at mate} 10.h3 Nxd4 {!! and wins ... I was looking at 11.Nxd4 Nxe5 as a possibility when white resigned! The best move for white is 11.Qxd4 which loses the house! Just for completeness, I will show the next move.} 11.Nxd4 Qg3 {!! and Mates !}

Ng4 {The whole setup is unsound, but one looks for fun at 4 in the morning.} 15.Bxg4 hxg4 16.Ne4 Bb7 {Hoping for the check and not Nxc5, killing me ideas.} 17.Nf6+ Ke7 18.c3 Qc6 {With ideas of overloading the queen. True coffehouse chess in progress.} 19.b4 Rxh2+ {Easy and natural} 20.Qxh2
Rh8 {It is better to mate with Qxg2!} 21.Ng8+ Kd8 {Wrong way Kf8 to win knight} 22.Ra2 Rxh2+ 23.Kxh2 Be7
{??? resigns ... I'd play on with two rooks vs queen, especially in speed game.} 0-1
