This is a game which I just finished, I consider it to probably be my best on this site. It shows the exciting possibilities of "Who can mate first" games that often arise in the sicilian, one of my favourite openings from either side. I am playing black. Enjoy!

Did you both miss 15. Qxb8 or am I missing something?

 Pretty sure we both missed it; Black may get some play off of Nd7, but I don't think it's more than getting the exchange back

 I looked at tha, but it took me pretty long to find ...Qc4# after Ka2. Plus I was under 20 seconds at that point

Ummm, really don't remember now, but I would probably have just taken the knight on a4.
