Watch Frank get obliterated

Here's a "movie" of Frank's game in round 2 against Zach Molitor. Frank is White. Sorry Frank - just trying out some new technology. (If you click on the board it will freeze so you can think about the position.)
So what went wrong? Probably the first mistake was attacking so early with the knight and then getting the queen out too early. Frank gets in a nice pawn fork but it doesn't work because his opponent can move one of the knights and attack his queen (which was out too early). After that Zach gets his forks (off comes a bishop), discovered attacks (off comes a knight), pins (off comes the queen), and one last fork (off comes the last rook) going in fine style. Keep watching until you've seen all 4 tactical shots.
