Interesting Match

well played game. please add a !! after the rook exchange sacrifice
I would, but I don't think the exchange sac was particularly sound. Black's response was bad.

black could have responded rook to g8, blocking the mate.
When could black have responded Rg8? Black is in check.
Nice game. A few things which I noticed was that your suggestion on move 14 is impossible, though even after 14...Kh8 and f5, I like Be6 as it prepares the usual Sicilian break with d5, and if nothing happens, he can exchange another pair of minor pieces which is not in white's interest being a pawn down.
As for the final position, black's only defence is 21...Rg8 when I don't see how white can further the attack, especially as it only takes black a move - 22...Qd8 - to consolidate.
Still, here's to speculative sacs! :)
I've been experimenting with the Smith-Mora Gambit from time to time, but I really haven't studied it too deeply. I just kinda play by feel, which means I lose a lot with it. This match, however, I won against a relatively strong player (+1900) in a 3 minute match. Although I won the game, I'm sure I made a few mistakes. Please chime in and point them out.
