He made three blunders Insomniac could see with a quick search, and his problems
were present from the beginning. Personnally, I didn't like f4 (I like b3
better; maybe there is some tactical reason not to play it?), and when he
finally did play b3 it didn't turn out to well. Also e4 and then exf5+ seem to
open the position up too much, as his cramped pieces didn't have any play on the
open lines.
