There is a big difference between correspondence chess and blitz; blitz hardly allows the use of chess machines. Especially at the rate I am playing at: 3 minutes for a whole game, plus an additional 10 seconds for every move you make; most players around here wouldn't even have had their development in order: in the same time we heroes and heroines complete an entire game... try and think about that, for a while...
1. e4 c5
still my favourite reply to e4: the Sicilian...

 
2. Nf3 g6 3. Ne5 Bg7 4. f4 e6
just striving for my usual setup in the Hungarion variation in the Sicilian: Ne7, ..., 0-0, ..., and play or prepare d5... best for White is probably Nc3, or exchanging the center with a direct d4...

 
5. Bb5
exotic, to say the least...

 
5... Ne7
Black could of course consider 5. ... Bxe5, 6. fxe5 Qh4+, 7. Kf1 Qxe4, 8. Qe1 Qf4+, and grab off some pawns; but black is on a mission...

 
6. O-O O-O 7. Nc4
White realizes, that Ne5 does not really help: but this retreat is already too much...

 
7... a6
not too hard to find...

 
8. Ba4 b5 9. Nd6 bxa4 10. e5
there was not much saving left for White: this obvious move however, makes it worse...

 
10... Bb7
not at all bothered by the opportunity of f6!, exf6, Bxf6, c3, Qb6, Nxc8, Rxc8... or Nxb7, Qc7, Nd6, f6, exf6, Bxf6, Ne4, Bd4+...

 
11. c3
the key move, but badly planned...

 
11... Qb6
Qc7 and Bd5 were other options; this works better for me...

 
12. Kh1
missing the point here: neccesary was Nb1-a3-c4, and drive the Black Queen away from this dangerous position...

 
12... Nf5 13. d4
there was no redemption in Nxf5, exf5, Qxa4, d6!, d4, cxd4, cxd4, dxe5, dxe5, f6, Qc4+, Kh8...

13... Nxd6 14. dxc5
a bit tougher was exd6, cxd4, cxd4, Qxd6, etcetera; this is too much...

 
14... Qc6
no rocket science involved here...

 
15. Qxd6
I have played a lot of games of chess in my life, but I still fail to be able to explain moves like this; we are running out of questionmarks here: anyway, after the very much needed 15. Qe2 Nf5, 16. b4 axb3, 17. axb3 f6, the game is over also...
