As did I against Pancake. Saw what was coming a couple of moves early and just couldn't get a defence ready in my mind. Mated in about 11 moves.
Sorry about that. I was deliberately trying to bait you into that trap, felt a bit bad! There are ways to defend it and if you play the right defensive moves then black actually comes out worse but I wanted to give it a try. Happy to play the next game whenever you're ready.
Edit: if I could maybe offer some advice, and I hope it doesn't sound patronising or anything, I think you spent too much time trying to chase my pieces around instead of developing your own. If you follow Tomous' general rules then you're less likely to fall into early traps; develop towards the centre, don't move a piece more than once, castle early.
