I said it before: in blitz, you have to deal with what you get: I do not shy away, from "weaker" oppponents; they usually give a lot of game...

1. e4 c5 2. Bc4	never understood this move: this is a remnant from the so called 'Fischer-move' in some old variation of the Sicilian...
	1 comment fiercequeen (1200) on 20-Jul-18: as White, I usually prefer f4, followed by Nf3...


2... g6 3. a3 Bg7 4. Ne2 e6 5. f4 Ne7 6. O-O O-O 7. d3 d5 8. Ba2 b5	why not? in this stage, anything goes in the Sicilian...
	1 comment fiercequeen (1200) on 20-Jul-18: as always, my favourite variation in the Sicilian: the Hungarian...


9. Qe1 a5	just what the Sicilian is all about: conquering the Queens' wing by brute force...
	1 comment fiercequeen (1200) on 20-Jul-18: I have to admit: White plays way too passive; possibly impressed by my good looks...


10. f5 exf5 11. exf5 Nxf5 12. Nbc3	looking for trouble...
	1 comment fiercequeen (1200) on 20-Jul-18: 11. ... Bxf5, was also an option: but the LSB has to go to b7; as soon follows...


12... b4 13. Nxd5 Bb7 14. Ndf4 bxa3	introducing new trouble, on the Queens' wing: pawn b2 is pinned...
	1 comment fiercequeen (1200) on 20-Jul-18: White cannot allow axb2...


15. Rb1 Qb6 16. bxa3 Qc6	threatening mate on g2: out of the blue...
	1 comment fiercequeen (1200) on 20-Jul-18: after g6-g5, White is in deep trouble...


17. Bd5	the only move...
	1 comment fiercequeen (1200) on 23-Jul-18: although Qf2 (Bd4, Nxd4) was way safer...


17... Qxd5	they do not call me fiercequeen for nothing: I am never afraid of saccing my Queen...
	1 comment fiercequeen (1200) on 20-Jul-18: Blacks' superior development, will make this sac well worth...


18. Nxd5 Bxd5 19. Nf4 Ba2 20. Rb7 Nc6	completing development: White is way behind...
	1 comment fiercequeen (1200) on 21-Jul-18: White has to return material: Black is developing a lot of threats; Ncd4, to name the most pregnant one: the White Queen is placed very badly...


21. Nd5 Bxd5 22. Rd7 Rae8	maybe better Rfe8? you tell me...
	2 comments lake-bay (1529) on 21-Jul-18: Rfe8 is better. The a-rook was needed on the queen wing and this blocks in Rf8. fiercequeen (1200) on 23-Jul-18: Bd4+, followed by Ne3 maybe? Black is surrounded by insurmountable opportunities: Whites' material advantage has dissolved... * note to lakebay: of course I noticed, the loss of the pawns on the Queens' side (Qxa5, might have even been better: the White Queen can never survive this); but as the game proves this is only to Blacks' advantage... *


23. Qd1 Be6 24. Rc7 Ncd4	the light cavalry, comes in...
	1 comment fiercequeen (1200) on 20-Jul-18: also Bd4+ was worth considering...


25. Rxc5 Rec8 26. Rxa5	greed, before the fall...
	1 comment fiercequeen (1200) on 23-Jul-18: these two captured pawns, will cost White the game: now, Rc8 has free range...


26... Rxc2 27. Bf4 Rfc8	Black is not mocking around: virtually a mere pawn behind, all pieces are in full attack mode...
	1 comment fiercequeen (1200) on 23-Jul-18: at least some justification, for sacrificing c5 and a5 in the process: already, Ne2+ is becoming a problem...


28. Qb1 Ne2+ 29. Kh1 Nfd4	Black has conquered the board...
	3 comments lake-bay (1529) on 21-Jul-18: ...Rc1??, Bxc1! rocktrebuchet (1510) on 22-Jul-18: I like 28....Nh4 instead of Ne2+ fiercequeen (1200) on 23-Jul-18: Rc2-c1 is already winning... * note to lakebay: OK, Rc1 might already be winning... * * note to rocktrebuchet: and damned right you are; didn't see that one: but hey, this is blitz... *


30. Qb7 Nxf4	after Rxf4??, Rc1+, soon followed by mate...
	1 comment fiercequeen (1200) on 20-Jul-18: I was particularly proud of this move: Black has four light pieces against a Queen...


31. Ra8 Rxa8 32. Qxa8+ Bf8 33. Qe4 Nde2	closing the deal...
	1 comment fiercequeen (1200) on 20-Jul-18: Bd5, finishes all...


34. d4 Bd5	the final chord, and the winning move...
	1 comment fiercequeen (1200) on 20-Jul-18: also after g2-g3, follows Bd5...


35. Qxc2	again, greed before the final fall...



35... Bxg2#	to be honest, I had not reckoned with mate: although well deserved...
	1 comment fiercequeen (1200) on 23-Jul-18: apart from this - somewhat lucky - mate, Black is totally winning: I wished, Kg1, Bxf1 were possible...
