No, I went through this with Crafty and 7. ... Bf4+ is the initial mistake, Crafty rates the postion after Bf4+ at +0.63. 7. ... Nf6 is -0.88 apparently, which makes sense as it gets another piece into the attack. After that things just went more and more wrong. Lasker's variation of From's Gambit (4. ... g5) is probably no good, Lasker only played it the once, DutchDenfense should try 4. ... Nf6 instead.
I'm not even going to post a game - you want emabarrassing? Make yourself feel better by looking at a few of my recent losses - particularly to lower rated players (yes, even lower than me.)
You have very high rating if you look how many games you play at once. If you try to play 10 games and put all this effort you put in playing so many games at once in learning chess, reading some good chess book, doing tactics puzzles, thinking more while playing less you would be 1800 in no time. Think about it 🙂
