it's called a sacrifice... I sacced the rook to get an attack on his uncastled king. A blunder? Right...

Boldly done and very creative.  The sac's wouldn't have worked out so well against a better player... you were down a full rook...he could have sac'd back a piece to get out of trouble and still been up the exchange.  But you weren't playing a better player and you got away with it.

I think you should have played 17.Be6 ... and you're right back to threatening mate in 1 (Nc7#). He has to sac a N to stop it (if he could even find the move) and you'd be down the exchange but with plenty of compensation. As it turned out you finished him off quickly... but in a large part because your opponent failed to find defending moves at all.

My first sac wasn't too bad, it was a Petrosian like sac. I had completely stopped any development from him. The second sac was a bit more risky though, and I should have moved my knight first before saccing so I could put instant pressure on his knight.

Your opponent handled the Pirc pretty strangely....

An interesting sacking idea.  Black could've survived though by playing 13... Be8 followed by developing the rest of his pieces.

Is this meant to be a game analysis or a game showcase? You haven't provided any annotations about your calculations during the game. It's hard to offer feedback unless you tell us the thinking behind your moves during the game. Not all the moves, just key moves.

Yeah, I thought my second sac wasn't so great. I'll put annotations, soon, kk?
