10 0 blitz, Chess.com, 2021
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ g6
Black might enjoy "kicking" the enemy Queen with this pawn, but he has commited himself - knowingly or unknowingly - to sacrificing his Rook.
7.Qxe5 Bd6
Here is the first mistake. It follows the first bit of advice in a blitz game: Make threats. However, it misses the caution, above.
8.Qxh8 Qe7
Whistler's defense relies upon this threat to White's e-pawn - but played a move earlier.
Now White can both extract his Queen and dissolve Black's Kingside in a few moves.
9.Qxh7+ Kf8 10.Qxe7+ Bxe7
White is up the exchange and three pawns. He still has to play this Queenless middlegame and be careful about Black's two Bishops, but his position is much easier to play - and that counts for something in a blitz game.
11.O-O Nf6 12.d3 b6 13.Nc3 Bb7 14.Bg5 Ng4 15.Bxe7+ Kxe7
White is not in a hurry. He develops his pieces. Pawn moves will follow.
16.h3 Nf6 17.Rfe1 Kf7 18.Nb5 c6
This looks like a time error.
19.Nd6+
Winning a piece.
Black resigned
