This was first round on blitz tournament that I entered and my best tournament so far by the score. I played this guy who had rating 1613 and he was probably expecting easy win but I was succesful in this one.
1. e4 d5 2. exd5 Qxd5 3. Nc3 Qe6+
I had prepared this Scandinavian Defence for this tournament. 3...Qa5 and Qd6 are more usual here but I like 3...Qe6 .

 
4. Be2 Qg6
Threatening to play Qg6xg2.

 
5. Nd5
I was little surprised here as I was expecting 5.Nf3 Qxg2 6.Rg1 Qh3 or 5.Bf3 that has been played quite often too in the internet. 5.Nd5 and white is after Nd5xc7.

 
5... Na6
Nd5xc7 threat has to be proctected.

 
6. Bf3
6.Ne3 e5 7.Nf3 e4 should be considered as it looks to be more correct. If white plays 6.Bxa6 then Qe6 7.Be2 Qxd5.

 
6... e5 7. d3
7.Qe2 Qxc2 8.Qxe5 Be6 is possible to play even that it looks quite weird position.

 
7... Nf6
7...Be6 8.Be3 c6 9.Nc3 can also be played.

 
8. Be3 Bd6
8...Ng4 9.Qd2 is better than 8...Bd6

 
9. Ne2 O-O
Now I was thinking that its good time to get king to safety.

 
10. O-O c6
If someone better has time I would be glad to know if 10...Ng4!? is any good.

11. Nxf6+ Qxf6 12. Be4
12.Ng3 Qe7 looks equal.

 
12... Nc5
12...Qe7!? should be considered in here too.

13. Ng3
Now white plays Ng3 even that he had possibility to play it earlier.

 
13... Qh4 14. Nf5 Bxf5 15. Bxf5 e4 16. h3
15...g6 16.Qg4 Qxg4 17.Bxg4 I should have played as after 15...e4 16.g3!? Qf6 17.Bxc5 Bxc5 18.Bxe4 and white has advantage but as we know everything cant be seen on blitz games.

16... exd3 17. Bxc5 Bxc5 18. Qxd3

18... g6
Im trying to force whites bishop to move and white doesnt have black squared bishop so my king is still in good safety

19. Qc3 Bb6
19.Qc3?? Bb6?? I had winning chance here but I was too worried about my bishop so I didnt saw possibility to play 19...Bd4 20.Qf3 gxf5 and game is blacks game by playing accurately.

 
20. Bd7 Rad8 21. Rad1 Qe7 22. Rfe1 Qc5
Threatening to play Qc5xf2

 
23. Qxc5 Bxc5 24. a3
White prevents b4 intrusion.

 
24... f6 25. Be6+ Kh8 26. Bd7 Kg7 27. c3
white now protects b4 and d4.
