A good win for me, against a player 300 points above. That c4 d3 e4 f4 pawn structure has been very good for me against Sicilians, altough it seems rarely played.

Nice game

Some serious miscalculations from your opponent, but well done in taking advantage of them. Lesson? don't let that 300 point difference scare you! Play your best and if he doesn't this will happen ;)

Your opponent never got a grip in the centre, the line with 2. f4 in the Sicilian is best countered with d5! immediately.  Great win Joe!

Bxh3 should definitely have been Black's 20th move, the knight must remain on f4 to prevent any incursions by White's queen to h6.  Once it gets there, it's as good as over, though pretty sure Black could have thrown up some sort of defence, at the cost of some material.
