Here is a 5 minute game against a slightly higher rated opponent that I played rather poorly in and one that I was worse in for the entire game. I find it interesting because I made a losing sacrifice that turned out to net me the win, and it just goes to show how powerful force is in blitz chess. I will hardly be detailed, but I am just posting this out of interest.
1.e4 c6 2.d3 d5 3. Nd2 e5 4.Be2 Nf6 5.Ngf3 Bd6 6.c3 Bg4 7.O-O Nbd7- Black has equalized comfortably.
8.Qc2 h5 9.h3 Bxf3 10.Bxf3 h4 11.Rd1 dxe4 12.dxe4- Allowing this is just bad for Black, but I liked the looks of my pieces. I decided here that I would kill the king or die trying.
Bc7 13.Nf1 Qe7 14.Ne3 g6 15.a4 O-O-O 16.a5 a6 17.b4 Rdf8 18.c4 Nxe4?!
Ignore the co-ordinates, I messed up... In this position I saw that Bxe4 f5 Nxf5 gxf5 Bxf5 was best leaving white with a material advantage, but I doubted that my opponent would play this way.
19.Qxe4 f5 20.Qc2 e4 21.Be2 Qe5 22.Bb2??- White must let the rook hang with 22.Nf1 Qxa1 23.Bb2 with advantage.
22...Qh2+ 0-1
I didn't know I had that in me. Sure I played poorly, but it was a fun sacrifice and one of the few I have ever uncorked. I'm glad it worked.
