This is a game from a mini tournement I played. I like this game because it really represents the way I play. I try to play a gambit 80% of the games I play and this is a nice example of that. |

1. f4
|
The Bird's opening. I don't encounter it very often, but I now a gambit against it: The From's gambit. |
 
|
| |
|
|
1... e5
|
Black offers a pawns in return for rapid development and attacking chances. |
|
| |
|
|
2. fxe5
|
White could've played e4 going into the king's gambit, but I would've played d5 gambiting one of my own pawns again. |
|
| |
|
|
2... d6 3. exd6 Bxd6 4. Nf3 g5
|
To chase the knight away and threaten Qh4 . |
|
| |
|
|
5. g3 g4 6. Nh4 Ne7 7. d4 Ng6 8. Nxg6 hxg6
|
I get an open h-file which I'll later use for the attack. |

9. Qd3
|
To prevent things like: 9. Nc3 Bxg3 10. hxg3 Rxh1 or 9. Bg2 Rxh2 10. Rxh2 Bxg3 . |
|
| |
|
|
9... Nc6 10. c3 Bf5 11. e4 Qe7 12. Bg2 O-O-O 13. O-O Ne5
|
These moves are theorie. |
|

|
14. Qc2
|
Normally Qe3 is played. |
|
| |
|
|
14... Bd7 15. Bf4
|
15. dxe5 isn't possible because of 15. ... Bc4 16. Kh1 Rx2 17. Kxh2 Rh8 18. Bh3 Rxh3 19. Kg2 Qxe5 20. Bf4 Qh5 and white can't cope with the threats. |

15... Nf3+
|
I sacrifice another pawn to open up his kings position. |
|
| |
|
|
16. Bxf3
|
If 16. Kh1 then Rxh2 and mate follows. Perhaps 16. Rxf3 was best. |
|
| |
|
|
16... Bxf4 17. gxf4
|
After a bishop moves follows Be3 and black has a good attack. |
|
| |
|
|
17... gxf3 18. Rxf3
|
When I saw this position on move 15, I thought I would have good chances here. |
|

|
|
18... f5
|
First I try to open the h1-a8 diagonal for my bishop. Best here for white would've been Nd2 I think. |
|
| |
|
|
19. e5 Bc6 20. Rf2 Qh4
|
I come closer with my queen. |
|
| |
|
|
21. Na3 Qh3
|
Better was 21. Be4 22. Qd2 Qg4 23. Kf1 Rh3 and blacks attack is comming through. |
|

|
22. Rd1
|
This move loses, but it was already hard to see what white could've don't against the threat Rh8-h4-g4 . Perhaps best for white was Rg2 to sacrifice the exchange, but it was just hopeless. |

22... Rh4 23. Rd3 Rg4+ 24. Rg3 Rxg3+ 25. hxg3 Qh1#
