12. Qxg6+ Ke7 13. Bg5+ would probably have been better, I know.

Thanks. I used to play with this guy who, when his king was being chased, would say something like, "Well his majesty's gotta run."

Better, yes, but more fun?

@batgirl- You know, if you keep posting these nifty games every blitz player on this site is gonna want to call you out ;-)
Nice Finishing... again black play very bad in the beginning and forget the basic rule...
Control the center

mxiangqi, After your suggestion of 11...Nf6, 12. Qe5+ looks pretty durn good for white and seems to validate the "initial" sac that you claim is unsound.
But, at any rate, in blitz, at least at my level, soundness isn't something that really matters. As Chepukaitis noted, in blitz "truth" isn't wnat matters, winning is.
I christen this the "Rabbit of Caerbannog Game".

"Black had to play 7...de6!"
That move came to my mind briefly as we played. I would have had to save the Bishop in that case and trade Queens. But I'm a firm believer that greed will usually prevail.
"9...Ke7 when the position is a nice mess."
I think that or even 9...Ke6 is better than the text.
I just now played a 5/0 game against a somewhat stronger opponent. I gambited a knight on spec in an opening I know absolutely nothing about and my opponent fell to pieces :-D . It was only a 5 minute game, but I loved every second of it.
