Black starts with 1…g5 and ends up owning the middle of the board. By move 17 the bishop has the rook on a1, and White abandons two moves later.
Move 12. White to move.
Black already owns the center pawns and the open lines. Ne6+ looks flashy. It drops more wood. Nf3 or Bxe5 keep the fight longer.
The miss is chasing checks while the center collapses. Hold the center. Trade when you must. Do not gift the corner rook.
I wish you the best of luck!!
