Friday Chess Blogging
It has been a while since I have published one of my games. This one is from earlier today. My opponent, khang, was keeping me muddled until move #18, when his pawn to g3 isolated his queen/rook combination on the h file. After my knight moved to f3, placing his King in check, khang decided simply to let the time run out. His only move to prevent checkmate was King to f2. But even then, it was going to be messy. He was already down a piece. I was pretty sure I would get a rook in a few moves. And his pawn on the e file.

White's development is too slow. (It's always a mistake to threaten defensible mates in the hope that your opponent's sleeping.) 18.Rd3 may have made things a bit more interesting although the lack of a tempo or two should prove fatal in any case.
Your opponent's 4th move may have been a new wrinkle in opening theory, but I'm guessing that instead he was doing that familiar thing of new players. At a loss as to what to do next, they often nudge forward one of their side Pawns, with a pinkie, while waiting to see what his opponent will do. Later he lost more time, as Karlo said, before finally throwing away, for no good reason at all, a Bishop, and with that the game. An instructive game, in a certain sense.
