A game I just played with 15 0 time control. It's fairly even until I temporarily sacrifice a knight to blow open the white king's castle. I'm pretty proud of the final tactic.

IMO, a good game. The only quirk I see is on move 7. Instead of 7...Be7 which prepares for castling, better is the strong 7...Na5! when White's Queen and Bishop are attacked. If 8.Qa3 or 8.Qa4 or 8.Qc3 then 8...b6! practically forces an exchange of Bishops, after which Ne5 will regain the initiative. Example: 7...Na5! 8.Qa4 b6! 9.Bxd7+ Nxd7 10.0-0 Be7 (Now this "quiet" move is stronger.) 11.Nc3 a6 (Keeping White out of b5!) 12.Be3 0-0 13.Rad1 Ne5! gives Black the advantage. (14.f4? Ng4 weakens White's kingside pawns and forces White's Bishop to block one of its own Rooks.)

A good game, nonetheless. I love Bishop + Queen Mates!
