This game contains a very nice, and most probably a deeply calculated, Queen sacrifice. Not performed by me, however, but by Alexander Petrov... I'm merely observing what is happening on the board. |

Surprisingly, maybe, since Petrov is the one whom 2. ... Nf6 is named after. |

This opening is called the "Giuoco Piano" and is still played very often nowadays.

Interesting sacrifice which results in a Knight for White against three pawns for Black, plus White's King is exposed.

Of course, White has to take. |

So far it's still known as the Ghulam Kassim variation... White's King probably goes to g3 in order not to shut in his h1 Rook and, consequently, slow down development
