This game between Coach Plaster and Hunter Chen demonstrates the importance of tempo on totally getting your opponent off his game! My fried liver was totally countered with a clever Bishop sack early in the game, which led to an attack that I could not survive:

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 {Here I'm up to my usual opening tactic. } 3...
Bc5 {I disregard the black bishop (a big mistake!)} 4. Nc3 d6 5. Nd5 {Looks
like a great outpost for my knight. } 5... Nge7 6. Ng5 {I see that the knight
on e7 is blocking the queen, so in comes my knight!} 6... Nxd5 {I'm prepared
for this take (at least I think). } 7. Nxf7 {A bold move.....I sack my knight.
The only way to save both the queen and the rook is for the king to take the
knight. When he does this, I'm prepared to take the knight and check the
king!} 7... Bxf2+ {The best laid plans ... OOPs...I had NOT expected this.
Hunter brings in his bishop for the check and the tempo!} 8. Kxf2 {I take,
after weighing the options. } 8... Qh4+ {Here's where black's attack continues
and I am in a very tough spot!} 9. Kf1 Bg4 {From this point forward, I'm too
flabbergasted to recover. I struggle awhile before I finally resign!} 10. Be2
Bxe2+ 11. Qxe2 Nd4 12. Qd3 Qf4+ 13. Ke1 Nb4 14. Rf1 Nxd3+
