Matt scores a quick win.

Here is a quick win from Matt Bunn in the recent Crowborough Rapidplay tournament.

The first eight moves are pretty even, but 9.Ng5 is not very useful and Matt takes full advantage with a quick build up on the Kingside. 14.Bd2 is a clear error, as 14.f3 or 14.h3 are necessary. The unnatural looking 15.Nge4 is better than Nf3 as Matt unleashes a devastating series of blows culminating in 18...g5 which forces his opponent's resignation.
