Play for control of the centre, they said

<Comment deleted by user>
You can actually defend against that move sequence. instead of g6 on move three, you could do qf6 or qe7.
You're playing a rapid 10+0 game, and you resigned with 9 minutes and 50 seconds on the clock. If your opponent is playing a funky opening, it is very likely it is a suboptimal opening but with traps : just use your time to prevent blunders. On the long run, playing solid standard openings should allow you to have better results/higher rating than players that play like this.

Most importantly, you don't call people morons on the forum because of your own poor play. You have only yourself to blame for this loss.

Just click analysis, find out why you lost the game in five moves, and go to the next one hoping you won't make the same mistake a second time.
Playing for central control is a principle. That means it is a guideline on how to improve your position not a law to be always followed. "Morons" play this way because people like you still fall for it. Don't blame others for your shortcomings
Defending against these early queen attacks is one of the first things any beginner learns.

yea even i stopped falling for that when i became a 1100. That guys a 1500 in classical why is he falling for it?
Yea its pretty much obvious what there going for. Nights first would have almost stopped it completely and protected the pawn. Its easy to stop if you know what your looking for. And NEVER resign they could stalemate or make a blunder. Sure it gets frustrating at times but you dont need to resign.
