    So I just played a 15-0 game on FICS as Black.  After getting off to a standard start the game branched into a strange sideline in which White tried an early kingside attack before his pieces had access to support his Queen.  Meanwhile, my kingside held after some give and take and ultimately a timely Exchange sac to clear out all his pressure and threaten him with mate!

     

    I think I played positionally relatively well, making adjustments here and there to refute his chances on my king but I only had one or two tactical plays to my advantage.  That said, a brief post game analysis showed that I only really missed a single tactic early, though my play had several opportunities to be better.  Later, I made some "worse" plays in order to keep the iniative and exert a lot of pressure on his King's position.  That said, here it is!

     

     

    So please critique my play as black.  I had to throw away a pawn and the exchange to refute his attack and won based on some better judgement.  Thoughts?
