Recently played a 3 minute blitz game with no increments. Played Stafford gambit and absolutely annihilated the player. 98% accuracy with no mistakes or inaccuracies. Mostly best moves but two moves that weren't best.

The analysed game can be found here.

My opponent got outclassed and checkmated.

Here is the game:

If this isn't a perfect game, I don't know what is. My thought process:

The game started with:

1. e4 e5

2. Nf3 Nf6

3. Nxe5 Nc6

4. Nxc6 dxc6

This is just theory and exactly how the Stafford gambit is played. However, the computer recommends black goes bxc6 instead of dxc6 on move 4 but that makes no sense and was never played in a master game according to my database.

5. Bd3 Bc5

Bc5 was just so I could pin the f2 pawn after white castles.

6. O-O h5

7. Be2 Ng4

As expected, he castled. I pushed pawn to h5 so after knight g4, if he decided to trade his bishop for knight, I would have something to recapture with. It also open up the h file for my rook.

8. Bxg4 hxg4

As expected, he traded.

9. Nc3 Qh4

He played a simple move to develop his knight and I moved queen to h4. This was so I could attack weak h2 square and threaten mate.

10. h3 gxh3

Opponent pushed pawn on h file which was a natural way to stop mate so queen could no longer move to h2 sqaure. However, I had pawn on g4 so I captured.

11. gxh3 Qxh3

After pawn takes, I take with queen and threaten mate.

12. d3 Qh2#

Inevitable Qh2 mate. Even if white had moved rook to e1 to give king an escape square, I could still mate on h1.

On move 11 instead of taking back the pawn, I could have moved queen to g3 then rook to h3 taking that pawn to deliver mate. Black would not have been able to take the queen as my bishop is pinning the f2 pawn (move 5). This would have led to an earlier mate and a possible 99% accuracy but we move.

Thanks for reading!
