This is a nice miniature I played here on chess.com. Feel free to comment and please look at the move list for variations.

A good game.  You're lucky you pulled off a win for you severely exposed your king with moves like 9.g4.  8.h3 was fine for this is a prophylactic move that will sometimes occur later in game anyways but you totally opened up.  Well done on the mate.

Black can defend with 13... Kf8 14 Bxg6+ Bf6 (by the way, Tal himself didn't rate as many exclams as you're handing out).

Well good one but black is a bit too passive in the start when instead he should have tried to develop his pieces.This game is quite similiar to a game I saw, really, though I dont remember the game very well.

The punctuation was the best part of the game. h3! upinning the knight! fxe3!! I don't think I've ever seen a recapture get two exclams.
