Sachin V Matthew 1-0
Resigned a game to Sachin
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 f5 3. d3 d6 4. Nc3 Ne7 5. Be2 g6 6. Bg5 f4 7. Nd5 Nbc6 8. d4 h6 9. Bf6 Rh7 10. dxe5 Bg7 11. Bxg7 Rxg7 12. exd6 cxd6 13. Bb5 Bg4 14. Nf6 resign
6. Once again I make the mistake of trying to extend the pawns too far across the board. It would have been better to pull the bishop out and protect the rook.
7. Another mistake. There is a very serious problem with White having both a knight and a bishop attacking the square in front of the king. Instead of threatening either piece, I tried to further the development of my pieces, ignoring the immediate danger.
13 By moving the bishop out, White is given a prime opportunity to form the Bishop and the King, getting a free Bishop.
14. Given that white is 3 points up, Black's defences are non-existent, resign.
