People may remember my last post in this forum about a game I won in 12 moves with From's Gambit. (See here: http://www.chess.com/forum/view/game-showcase/a-froms-gambit-quicki)

 

This game is a variation on the kingside attack theme that was very reminiscient of From's Gambit, even though it arose, unbelievably enough, from the wildly different opening that is Owen's Defense (1. e4 b6). I was playing White and geared up for this type of attack following an early f6 push by my opponent. The lesson remains, as it is often said, to be careful with the timing of f-pawn advances (and some subsequent moves in this instance).

 

This game offers an object lesson for a number of tactics that can surprisingly often come into play and are great to watch out for. Without further ado, here's the game.

 

Edit: I've noticed some spelling/grammar mistakes in the annotations that I will fix later in the day.

great combination....

Nice stuff Absurd

complete destruction

wow!

I actually hadn't seen that line in Owen's Defense before, Gambitking, thanks for sharing that!

 

EDIT: I'm also curious as to which of Bd3 or Nc3 are considered preferable/mainline there. Time to go digging. 

FURTHER EDIT: Bd3 is much more common and scores better than Nc3, now I just wonder why that is.

Moral of the story: don't let your king become loose, especially in Blitz
