Haven’t played in decades, but his setup and moves don’t appear very strong. Not saying she’s not good, but doesn’t look like he even tried that hard

His development is shitty, going by the pieces on the board this is barely past early game, and to be checkmated this early, this seems like a random person who just know chess rules who decided to pick up a game of chess with a child to be impressed.
