Not bad; i find it quite easy to spot sacrifices and winning chances like that in blitz, i tend to go gung-ho and see what happens. Maybe if i played rated blitz games though i would be more cautious...

I guess the high rated player was drunk. :-) Nice finish though.

You really did play a nice game all the way thru, there. BL goes against a general principle for d-pawn openings (on his move 5....Nc6 ) which basically says, "Thou shall not block in your c-pawn with a Knight". And you never allowed him to recover from the
time and dis-coordination factors following that.
For anyone wondering why BL did not play 7...Ne4 to play against the pin on c3; I imagine it was because in doing so WT could easily make him trade off that Knight (EG 8.Bd2 or the gambit 8.o-o!?) which was already the only piece he had to act as defender of his King side. Indeed the position resulting after elimination of that knight is a classic attacking position for WT, with sacrifice potential as well, if BL were to o-o into it. [If you haven't seen it before or very similar, then this definitely is one to learn.]
and the thought of becoming K-stranded in the center must have occurred to him. The trouble is tho, 7...Bxc3 is not much better. BL is still short of effective K-side defenders.
I liked the way you did not allow him to divert you from the attack when he offered you a pawn on e4 to BxNe4/ fxBe4 Qxe4, but instead made the en passant capture, saving the tempo you needed to play Ba3 next. [Another classic attack position!] I think that move locked in the win; and the Cross-X Mate with Bishops aor Q was nicely done. We don't get to see many of those in actual play ...
Congratulations on your miniature~!

I think black anticipated the en passant move as a way to save the knight without having to make it completely un-worthwhile. He just neglected to see how powerful Ba3 really was.
Good job on seeing that mate, since it's not really an intuitive move to do.
