1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Qe2 dxe4 4. Qxe4 e5 5. Bc4 Be7 6. Qf3 Qxd4 7. Qxf7+ Kd7 8.

Nf3 Nf6 9. Nxd4 Black Resigned

Analysis of the game:

Opening:

The game began as a French Defense: 1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5. White chose an unusual developing move with 3. Qe2, avoiding the main lines. Black traded pawns with 3...dxe4, and White recaptured with the queen: 4. Qxe4. This early queen activity is playable but can lead to tempo loss if Black develops with threats.

Critical Moment – Black’s Blunder:

After 4...e5, White played 5. Bc4 Be7 6. Qf3 Qxd4?. This was a serious mistake. Black grabbed the d4-pawn, but it left the queen exposed and allowed White to strike: 7. Qxf7+!. This check forced the black king to move: 7...Kd7.

Tactical Finish:

White continued accurately: 8. Nf3 Nf6 9. Nxd4. Now Black’s queen is lost because the knight on d4 attacks it, and there is no good way to save it while also dealing with the exposed king. Black resigned.

Evaluation:

· White played energetically and punished Black’s greed. The queen sortie was risky but effective because Black failed to develop safely.

· Black violated opening principles by taking the d4-pawn with the queen too early, allowing a forcing line. Better was 6...Nf6 or 6...c6, completing development and challenging White’s center.

· Key lesson: Don’t grab pawns with the queen in the opening unless you’ve calculated the consequences. King safety and development come first.

Result: White wins by resignation after a neat tactical refutation of Black’s premature queen raid.
