Well I've played worse too... But I was too embarressed to admit it... 😳
One thing though is that I can't think of a single reason for Ke7. 😕

Originally posted by solar01Then 12 . Qh4 doubling up on the knight on f6 and black's game just crumbles. But at this point black is already lost even though I'm two pawns down: My pieces are all over the place and black's one are either at home or aren't doing much. So I have the d5 square screaming for a knight, I have Nxe6 to draw thr king even more to the center, I have my rook on the d-file,... it's just too much for black to handle.
what happened if 11.. g6 instead of exf4 ? It seems a good move.
One thing I think black has to do in this position is to give the king some breathing space. At this point he has no safe square to go so any check could be very dangerous. So I think 11. ... Nc6 is the move to be played (in fact it is to be played even sooner)

Originally posted by diskamylIMO, there is only one reason to play a move like Ke7 (or similar bad move)... for confusion factor during a 1 minute bullet game... but alas this is correspondence chess!
