Here Black is a beginner and White is not that much better.
1. e4 e5 (1..e5 is not recommended for beginners. He should play 1..e6. Here Black is already on the road to allowing the sac on f7. There are some good players who allow the sac on f7, but I think its more to prove they can defend as opposed to it being a good idea to allow it.) 2.Bc4 Nf6 (Black's best hope of preventing the sacrifice is 2..Qe7. ) 3.Nc3 Bc5 (The purpose of this move is to threaten a sac on f2. However White can sac on f7 and not allow the sac on f2) 4. p@e3 b5 (this is a chess move. It doesn't answer the threat of Bxf7+. It leaves two many weaknesses. Furthermore, in bughouse, losing a pawn is like losing two pawns. 5. Bxb5 (I would have taken on f7. The bishop is not useful if it is blocked by the d-pawn) 5..c6.
6.Bc4 d5 7exd OO (This seems a bit bizarre, as Black's plan was to play cxd) 8.dxc6 Nxd6 9.Nf3 Bg4 10.Be2 (Here d3 or d4 should have been played so that Black cannot take control of d3) 10..e4
11. Ng5 Bxe2 12. Qxe2 p@f3 (12. p@d3 is more accurate. Black controls d3 and could have threatened e2 and c2. In this game, real estate is often more important than personnel. 13. gxf3 N@g2+ (This will be bad for White if he goes to d1. If he goes to f1, Black has no followup, as White controls the usually important square, h3 with his Knight.) 14.Kd1 exf3 (That is awful!!! Black needs to attack c2 and e2) 15. Nxf3 p@g4 (This looks like a good move as Black can try to get control of e2.)
16. N@h6 (This is a bad move. Black could just play Kh6. If he plays gxh6, it takes many moves and much material for White to create an attack). 16..gxh6 17.Rg1 gxf3 18.Qxf3 B@g4 19.Rxg2 B@h5 20. p@h3 (Here maybe put something on e2 or even Ne2 so that when the pin of the Bishop on g4 is ended, the pin on White's Queen will also be over.) 20..Kh8 (This position favours White, as White is mopping up Black's pieces and the Black King is still not safe).
21. hxg4 bxg4 22. Rxg4 Nxg4 (In bughouse the two pieces are almost always worth much more than the rook. Rooks are sometimes useful for mating, but their lines are generally easy to block. Also two pieces tend to be worth more than one.) 23.Qxg4 Bxe3 (hoping for 24.fxe and N@f2. Black should defend instead of attacking) 24. p@g7 Kg8 25. gxf8=Q+ Kxf8 and then I lost on the other board.
In the final position, White stands better. Not only is it his move, but Black can be safely and perhaps decisively be checked with a Pawn, Bishop, Rook or Queen. If it were Blacks move, he could only check with a Rook or Queen.
