Here I played an opponent who was about 50-60 points below my rating.
I remember reading a book a few years back on ways to checkmate the king with numerous, common positions in chess. One of these was the Bxh7 sacrifice which leads to checkmate if not properly analysed. Below is the game I played, which started in the Alekhine defence but transposed into a French defence structure.
