Oh my, it seems that white has made a terrible blunder with their third move by 
playing Bc4 instead of Nc3. This allows black to seize control of the center of 
the board with c5. White tries to counter with d5, but black wisely responds with
Qb6, leaving white’s pawn structure in shambles. Black continues to press their 
advantage with Bg7 and Nf6, but white manages to gain some ground back with Qe2 
and Bxg5. However, white then makes the grave mistake of playing h4, allowing black
to take control of the h-file with Bh5 and Bg6. White’s position only deteriorates
from there, as they blunder again with b3 and Nh3, allowing black to capture a number
of white’s pieces. It’s no wonder that white eventually falls to black’s overwhelming
advantage, as they made so many errors early on in the game.

3.Bc4 is the miss. Develop the knight before you grandstand the bishop. Black’s 
c5 takes the center and the pawn structure never recovers. I wish you the best of
luck!!
