1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. e5 Nfd7 5. Nf3
Not common but I like it too
5... a6?
Waste of time in my opinion
6. Bf4 c5 7. dxc5 Bxc5 8. Bd3 Qb6
This is not as strong as it looks
9. Na4 Bxf2+ 10. Ke2 Qa5 11. Kxf2 Qxa4 12. Bg3 Nc6 13. Re1 Qb4 14. b3 Qb6+ 15. Kf1
I believe that there is compensation for the pawn
15... O-O??
The conditions for this sacrifice to work are:
1. Control over e5 2. Battery of Queen and bishop pointing at h7
Both conditions are fulfilled so...
16. Bxh7+! Kxh7 17. Ng5+ Kg6 18. Qg4 Qb4
The combination must work
19. Ne4+!
This is it! Black's king has to go back to g8
19... Kh7 20. Qh5+ Kg8 21. Ng5 Nf6 22. exf6 Qb5+
spite check
23. Kg1 Rd8 24. Qh7+ Kf8 25. Qxg7+ Ke8 26. Qxf7#!!
Cute...
1-0

I liked it.

beautifull game, I always like this classical bishop sacrifice.
You just miss 25.Dh8 checkmate ;o) ;-)

Alopinto

Yes, I guess I did :-D

But it was a one minute game so please be forgiving :-D

one min game suck.... you cant think enough and the good moves are usually miscalculations of the opponent due to the time setting.
