Ziryad,
I am enjoying studying the Smith-Morra, but I don't think I have the courage to play it in OTB or correspondence. Maybe in a blitz game! =)

Double knight sac leading to line mate, with castling forcing resignation. 20...Kh6 21.Nf5+ Kh5 22.g4# was the alternative for black.
That double knight sac was very beautiful. I liked how Harry Pawn got in there and opened up lines for the "h" file.
What was the time control for this game?
It was either 3/0 or 3/2 blitz, I don't remember exactly. I do a lot of tactics training. 
Here is one more. Honoring Tal's memory in my own little way.

Man, you play some wild games. That g4 move is pretty bold.
I really like your exf6+ zwischenzug. That was really brilliant after he goes rook grabbing.

I won a correspondence game through IECC with the Morra.
Excellent game Chud!
I had an interesting recent game in the Gunderam Defence. An opening I can't recall having faced before (although I've apparently seen it in passing, from one bullet game - which I also won). A little bit of poor play, on both sides, but there were some nice tactics along the way.

My best game yet about an hour of calculation and I am super stoked to share!
Note: 4. Bg5 is theory, and the only move that gives White an objective advantage. However if Black doesn't know the opening, Bf4?! is an absolute minefield, and gives your opponent a hell of a lot of opportunities to lose the game immediately

15 minute Rapid today, playing the Budapest Gambit: Fakorwicz Defense. Was an interesting game, I'm happy to share. Sorry if the annotations are not great, it's my first attempt.

Thanks, but not according to the engine! After 27. Kg1 white's king is quite safe and with a +5 advantage. Damn you engines. Crushing all my dreams.
How can I insert cheess diagram?
Press the first button in the top left that looks like a chess table and paste the pgn there.

@aktripathi001 loved that 15. Bxh7+! please start adding variation lines to your games, they're pretty interesting (15. ... KxB?? loses the Queen and it'd be nice to see why!)
Quickest pawn promotion
