Checkmate in 9 Moves – Game#32

Sometimes strong players can fall for a near fool mate.  

White opened with P-K4 and N-KB3. Black opened with P-K4 and N-QB3. A well played opening for many chess players.  

Black options to defend the check by a white bishop and Knight could have been black King to Knight Three and then Pawn to King/Rook three. These moves would have allowed the black King to move to Rook two for protection of the King. Also allowing the black Knight and Rook to be developed and defending the quick checkmate by white.  

Black Pawn move to King/Rook three seal the deal for the nine moves checkmate or a big lost of pieces and position.
