1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 a6 6. Bc4 Nc6 7. Bb3 e6 8. O-O Bd7 9. Be3 Be7 10. f4 O-O
Moves of the opening needed no commentary. Standard Sicilian formation has arisen. Now my opponent opted for f5 to make his light-squared bishop as active as possible.

 
11. f5 e5 12. Nde2 Nb4 13. a3 Nc6
My 12th move proved as just a waste of tempo. I should have played Rc8 right away.

 
14. h3 Rc8 15. g4 Na5 16. Bd5 Bc6 17. Qe1 Bxd5 18. Nxd5 Nxd5 19. exd5 Nc4
!, My opponent made a mistake allowing me to win control over c4 square. Probably 16. Ba2 was the right choice. Now he makes another inaccuracy with his remaining bishop.

 
20. Bc1 Bg5 21. b3 Ne3 22. Bxe3 Bxe3+ 23. Kg2 Rxc2
As a result of my opponents mistakes, I won material, and I have a strong attack on white king. Let's take a look on the following.

 
24. Kf3 Qb6 25. b4 Rfc8 26. Rd1 Bg5 27. Qf2 Qb5 28. Rfe1 e4+
good pawn sac in order to open lines for attack

 
29. Kxe4 Rc8c4+ 30. Rd4 Qe8+ 31. Kf3 h5 32. Rxc4 Rxc4 33. Nd4 Qd8 34. Re4 Qf6 35. Kg2 Rc3 36. a4 Bh4 37. Qd2 Rg3+ 38. Kh2 hxg4 39. Rxg4 Rxg4 40. hxg4
my attack is coming to it's end, but I have an extra pawn and I can force white into an ending that is lost for him.

 
40... Qe5+ 41. Kg1 Qg3+ 42. Kf1 Qh3+ 43. Ke2 Qxg4+ 44. Kd3 Bf6 45. Kc4 Bxd4 46. Qxd4 Qxd4+ 47. Kxd4 g5 48. fxg6 e.p. fxg6 49. b5 axb5 50. axb5 b6
This is an easily won position for black so WHITE RESIGNS
