I think White was Artur Yusupov, I can't remember the name of his opponent. I'll do my best to annotate it.

 

EDIT: thanks to rigamagician for pointing out that the game was actually Gufeld-Ivanovic, Chigorin Memorial, Sochi 1979.

That was a great game, unrelenting pressure and buccaneering play. Thanks for posting.

I'd actually question the soundness of your attack. After 9.Ke8 it looks like you're going to end up down material. 8.Qd5 seems best, and after 8...Nc2+ 9.Kd1 Nxa1 10.Bxg8 I think you're far better.
