Nice to win in 20 moves
1. e4
Let the guy castle and then attack his kingside- more entertainment than education. Blitzkrieg- works some times. The key was sacrificing a pawn to get his strong defensive bishop. Josep and I have had some good games. Enjoy.

 
1... e5 2. Nf3 d6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bc4
routine

 
4... Be7 5. d3 O-O
he castles- i am in a dangerous mood. Plan to attack his kingside- fasten your seat belts.

 
6. Be3 Bg4 7. h3 Bh5 8. g4
pawn storm- my intentions are revealed

 
8... Bg6
could still end in grief for me

 
9. g5 Nfd7 10. Nh4
this is the key move for me- i could have advanced my h pawn to protect my g pawn but his bishop on g row was too strong for me

no problem, coz my d-rook will go to h1

 
18. Rdh1
i dont get the q over to the h row yet, better to advance the 2 rooks right down the h file and the q will come in later

 
18... g6 19. Rh5h8+ Kg7 20. Rh1h7+
next my knight will go to f6, he will go to e6, my queen will come to h3 etc. he resigns.
