This is an important lesson in chess. Always check everything at least TWICE!
The above is a recent game of mine. I was White. After I played 16. Nxd5, my opponent resigned. He thought he would lose a piece because of the pin on the c file.
However, if he would have checked twice, he would have realized that
16… Nxd5 17. Nc4 Bxd4 18. Qxd4 with a small edge for White.
(if 17. Bxd5 Bxd4 = or if 17. Bxe5 Qxe5 18. Nc4 Qe6 +=)
Even though White retains a small advantage, it is hardly a resignable position. So be sure to double check all lines in chess. Good luck!

either Im a complete fool or the analysis makes no sense? I cant follow the moves how can Qxe5? Or Bxe5 the pieces arent even on those squares!
Oh I see now. The mutiple moves is confusing to a novice.
Your opponent was probably intimidated by your rating.
My opponent was your mother
I can always spot whether a move was good or not immediately after I make it. I move too fast. Checking things twice is a good idea.

LOL I like this kind of joke…
