A couple things to note from this game for the beginning chess player... the first being the fact that a material edge is worthless if it is not being used correctly (i.e., a passive rook is nowhere near as good as an active knight). The second is that the one brutally strong pawn formed on move 10 could have been eliminated but wasn't... and it ended up costing White the game.
