What were the time controls here?

nice! loved the ending. Right as it looked as if you were getting thrashed you had just enough moves to win.
This was a sharp 5 min blitz game.
Here is another quick win with black (same time controls, Sicilian)

nice game
17 qxc2 seemed pretty simple in the first game
Looking over QxC2 i thought it was a pawn grabbing move and I did not want to open the C file. But I can now see how the exchange of queens and perhaps my black square bishop would simplify the game to my advantage. It would be a long endgame. This was quicker and more spectacular win!
Well, after 24 nxf6 instead of the blunder q-f8 how do you propose you have a quick win? At best it seems dynamically equal if not slightly better for white
Just a line I came up with at a quick glance. Don't think that just because u won a game that you made the best or even good moves. And I will always take an endgame with the better chances over a middlegame where white has the better chances

oooo... sveshnikov sicilian very sharp
Agreed to a certain degree. But if I did not make best or even good moves my opponent made even worse moves. This was a blitz game not all variations were calculable. On the other hand, in your given and corrected play for white I still think black stands better with the attacking initiative. Black plays Qe4 and is ready to push the h-pawn.
h4 qe6...does black really have the initiative(is a question). Like I said probably equal. But, I believe in white more
