OK, this is where I'm going to get very critical. Whenever a chess game is featured, my philosophy is that every move needs to be shown. The reason for that is without it, the game becomes hard to follow. You started out well with the King's Gambit, but then you run into trouble after move three. Based on what you described, the game goes 1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 Bc5. At this point, the student is in a better position. The problem is that you then say the teacher then places his knight on f6, without saying where the student moved on move 4. My assumption is that the student would go 4. d4, but that means that if the teacher goes 4... Nf6, he loses a bishop. Then you jump around to move 12 and I'm completely lost. You had a great game going, but since it wasn't coherent, it was hard to follow. For me, if a chess game is not easy to follow, it ruins the experience for me.
