Nicholson - Dhammika (Rapid)

Here's a highlight game from the latest tournament I attended.  It was my first rapid tournament and my performance score was pretty decent (thanks to a series of strong opponents rather than my own strong play). 

 

This is a rather quick tactical crush that goes to show that cheap threats will be punished at a certain level.

 

One nice part about winning this game is that I overheard my opponent telling his teammate he was 'just playing a kid' :).  I was out for blood.  As an added bonus, my three teammates won their games decisively as well.  The only 4-0 score our team had in the entire tournament.
