Sheer luck?!!! :-) Nuh, kidding. I think you caught him off guard, and maybe he under estimated you and disobeyed the first rule of chess: never under estimate your opponent :-) You're a gud player Jon, maybe you underestimate yourself...

Look forward to playing for beer on Tuesday! :-) 

Nice game. i am sure you will love my game also check out my blog

That opening is called the Polish or Orangutan

hey...anyone can explain me black's move: 14... Nf8? Should have played Ra5 for an exchange...

I must say you are very good, Barney!!

Great game you played really, but having played chessjoe...i know he's a blitz fan, and I think he plays too many games---to a fault---like there all blitz matches...i think his rating now is 2000+, but he overlooks a lot in his multi-play gaming.  I don't imply you won on a blunder he made---but i can see where your trap could have been overlooked.

Enjoy your sweet victory, but don't rush out and bet the farm on heads up play next time, i also beat him, but also to my good fortune he had a boatload of games underway. 

Interesting game!

Even the sun shines on a dog's ass every now and then!

Yeah, I don't think he gets it....

Sorry I wasn't more clear.  The text move is fine if black plays 15... Rxe1.  But, although black blundered with 14... Nf8?, he can still salvage things somewhat with:

 

I still prefer the text move.  I'm not sure I agree with your continuations.
