I really like my 18th move - intuitive sacrifice which would give strong attack if my opponent would accept it. Unfortunately opponent scared and refused it, making decisive mistake.

Nice game Korch - am going use this and one of mine
Game 5863092 for the Corner - wee feature on White Knights going to f5.

Cheers.

Decisive Rook sacrifice 13.Rxh5! after which Black appeared in lost position.

Despite of my opening blunder I managed to overplay my opponent. The final position is really nice 🙂

That is one of your better efforts, I quite enjoyed it.

Onwards, to victory!

This opening trap worked for me even in some OTB games 🙂
