I sacked some pawns and then I got a cool queen sac at the end. The English isn't always slow I guess. Laughing

I didn't look thoroughly at the game but it looks like you played a sound game. Nice find on the sac. My initial reaction is that you had something sooner... I can't tell off the top of my head though.

 

Nice :D

The English isnt slow if your opponent plays like that no

Yeah 14...Qd8 looks like the only move. 15.Bxf4 e5 looks rather violent. Maybe 15...Nh6?

16...Bf5 stops that backrank. After 17.Nxa8 though I think Qxc6 is a threat again.

Nice finish, but after 16.Bf4, I think both 16..Bf5 or 16...Qxb2 probably hold for Black. His Nf6 was a bad mistake
