The luckiest great game I ever played

The luckiest great game I ever played

This is one of my best blitz games ever with a great middlegame despite 1 miss in the opening and 2 inaccuracies in the middlegame... However, I have to admit that my descent opponent was too unlucky... On move 14 he played a normal move which I thought would trap my bishop. I bet this was his plan. It took me more than 20 seconds to find a way to save my bishop and since I could not find another way, I decided to exchange it with his knight. Seemed quite normal.... However, his attempt to trap my bishop was a blunder giving me +6 in the evaluation bar after the "normal exchange". My move was more than GREAT because in reality I could win his queen due to a discovered check and attack I had. My opponent saw this and gave me his queen...!!! Normally I should have spotted the tactic, but when he gave me the queen I thought he was sandbagging! After this, I even sacrificed my queen for his rook and 2 pawns thinking also that he wanted to lose... even this sacrifice was best!!! Everything I did was excellent or best even by pure luck... So the win came very easily... Enjoy the "luckiest great" game I ever had!
