The positional exchange sacrifice of White’s rook on the a1-square at move 10 is correct anyway (according to me and according to …your strongest chess engines too :)) )! Further, I scored the impressive 85+% wins with this line (e.g. 1. b3 g6 2. Bb2 Nf6 3. Bxf6!?) and this 3. Bxf6!? is White’s best “short-term” option vs Black’s King’s Indian try. Finally, to be one idea up to your opponent usually = wining the game!
I would probably be quite a higher rated player at #1 Russian playing site (e.g. ChessPlanet.ru) but I often couldn't take seriously many of my opponents (fast and stubborn guys but … without any idea of playing chess).
But this is not the case with one of my best chess friends – the FM Tihomir Dovramadjiev. Messing fast vs him = 100% loses (just because he would probably be both stronger and faster than you :)))). He retired from tournament chess some 6-7 years ago but is still one of the strongest blitz players in the world.
His nicknames at playchess.com are tigertad and lacetti.
