This game is a great example of an opponent getting over zealous with an attack in the opening. He plays an opening that lends to quick development and early initiatives but when I refuse to play into his hand he still tries to force the attack.

Often when launching an attack too early you can get your pieces knocked around, risk losing pieces outright, and find yourself at the center of an attack once yours is negated.

My opponent found himself to be the one on his heels as I played simple developing moves and refused to be afraid of his attack.
