This game was a 3 minute game played on live chess today. I know its not perfect, but I managed to sacrifice a knight using the concept from Mauerblume's article which resulted in a development advantage and a nice windmill. Enjoy Smile

Well done. Pretty hectic for a 3-minute game! The Bishop was devastating.

Sorry, what is a windmill?  I looked through the game and didn't see anything resembling a windmill.

That was sweet. I wonder was that your plan or was it serendipity?

Well after 16... b5 , I did figure out that Bxd7 although not as forcing as Rxd7, deprived the queen of light squares. But yeah, it was pretty lucky to get such a juicy position Tongue out
