Losing in eight moves

Aaron Scoones wrote a short article about losing in eight moves to Swedish chess grandmaster Tiger Hillarp-Persson. It sounds like he fell for the old queen-sac, bishop mate trick. Tiger gave him some pointers after the game:

"You started alright but your second move of the knight is recognised as a bad move. It's so bad there is not even a name for it."

I never imagined that chess was so much like trading.
