This is a Queens Gambit Declined game. White sacrifices a pawn for rapid development. Black picks up two pawns and sort of gives up a piece hoping to trick White into a a checkmate position. He ends up being checkmated as he protects his Queen at the expense of the King! Comments are welcome.

This game features the Danish Gambit where White sacrifices several pawns for rapid development, and then tries to sacrifice a piece which Black declines, and at the end, I could not find a better a way to explain what happened, without paraphrasing what Jesus said regarding setting your priorities straight. I hope you enjoy the game. Your ideas, thoughts, suggestions, and comments are welcome.
