Hi all, this is a blitz-game I played recently. It's an interesting game, starting with a classic Sicilian opening. Enjoy
1. e4 c5
Sicilian

 
2. Nf3 Nc6
classic Sicilian

 
3. Bc4 e5
This isn't the regular move, I made this move to get more pressure on d4, for a knight outpost later, to free my DSB and to prevent white from playing Ng5 threatening a fork on f7

4. d4
this is probably a pawn sacrifice for quicker developing, when I take I'll have a greater pawn pressure on the center, but he'll have a slight developing advantage, it as well makes it possible for his N to move to the g5 square, something I missed in the game

 
4... cxd4 5. Ng5 Nh6
This is a weaker spot for the N but as white threatens Nf7 I have no other option except moving my queen, which I think would be weaker

6. Qf3
Three attacks on the weak f7 square

 
6... f6
Easy dealt with the threats, blocking the Q's way to f7, attacking the N on g7 and completing my pawn string

 
7. Nh3
forced

 
7... d6
completely blocking my dark squared bisschop, but allowing Ng4, a better spot for the weak N on h6

 
8. Na3
developing his N, since Nf3 isn't possible, although I think that Nd2 would've been stronger

 
8... Ng4 9. Bd5 Nb4
My Ns now have 2 great outposts, I thought I could launch some attacks now, but i oversaw the following attack

10. Bxb7 Bxb7 11. Qxg4
I now lost a pawn, however, white has given his strong bisschop for a strong knight, we shall see what turned out the most valuable

13. Qf3 d5
trying to get complete control of the center after 14.xd5 Qxd5 15.Qxd5 Nxd5 I have a better position and the strong LSB

14. Bd2
pinning the N

 
14... Bb7
protecting the pawn on d5 while also threatens to take e4, winning a pawn and probably even a greater pressure on the center

 
15. Bxb4 Bxb4
bringing the DSB in the game

 
16. Qf5
threatening Qe6+
