He didn't have a bad rating either, he was around 1517 long.
Just finished this game, comments are welcome
Sort:
Well played, a very unnecessary and risky bishop sacrifice, but what a beautiful follow up and execution. Well done 
5... b6 I usually play c6, but since I don't play queen's pawn as white, I'm not sure as to whether or not theory accepts that move.
9... Nxe7 Qxe7 seems more flexible
11. O-O A solid move, but if you were going to sac the bishop anyways, why not play it now? I think the initiative can compensate for the lack of a king safety. If black does end up playing Ke6, you will be more able to attack it quickly with the rook on the h-file supporting the h-pawn.
I think if he plays Ke6, Qg4 works, especially since his pieces are so uncoordinated.
Therefore, I give 12. Bxa7 !!
Well played game! Kudos
I actually didn't see Bxh7+ until after I castled, which is why I didn't play it one move earlier, but you're right I definitely could have.
Also thanks for the comments.
Good game, very instructive. Thanks for posting it.
Very nice. Greek gift, classic.
I use that colle system opening all of the time and watchingn your game gave me an idea of how to actually use it properly. Thks for posting this!

what are talking about? That was a terrible sacrifice with the only positive is his opponent had lesser "brain power" to see it. Against a stronger player,he'd be severely punished for doing that as i had learnt while playing a grandmaster at our local library. I wish to openly lay down a challenge to phelan.
Well then, why don't you explain what was so terrible about my sacrifice and how you would go about refuting it? I'm fine with criticism as long as you can prove that what I did was in some way incorrect.
I was rated 1580+ in the uscf two years ago and my online ratings here are around 1570 long and 1530 blitz although I suspect that once I play some more games my rating will land somewhere in the 1600 range.
I dont know where you are getting 1200 from.

is a wild continuation leading to a roughly even, unclear position.
I see a few errors in your calculations. for example Nb5 is unplayable with the pawn at a6 and you forgot to put Kg6 Qg4 into your move list. Also consider that Ne4 is a possible follow up move to Kg6 as well as Qg4.
Also thanks for the comments. I'm glad my game has helped you willis.
nice game and good job keeping up the pressure and getting in you opponents head .it paid off great for you.KUDOS.chess=50% skill 50% mental.
I didn't hope my opponent would blunder. I felt that my opponents king position if he went to g6 instead of g8, would give me the initiative and equal compensation for my bishop, not to mention it might lead to a fun and exciting game.
Thanks for the compliment.
You are right though buenotc, its not the best move and it is pretty risky but I wouldn't say it was terrible

I just received Deep Rybka and was playing around with it, and set up the position wrong. Amazing (sometimes scary) variations provided even with my incorrect set up.
Still, black must try and weather the storm with Kg6 and f5, as the game continuation flat out loses.
Sure no problem. I look forward to seeing what new line your computer will come up with.
edit: yes Kg6 is forced.
Here's how the game went (queens gambit declined), I played white.
