This is certainly a hugely entertaining game very much in the spirit of Morphy or Anderssen. However, objectively speaking I don't really believe that white's rook sacrifice in the opening is correct. White obviously gains considerable lead in development but one problem whit this kind of heavy material sacrifice is that black can often at appropriate moment solve his defensive problems by sacrificing some material back.

For example, in the game black could play 13... 0-0(!) 14. dxc6 Qc8 15. cxb7 Qxb7. With this bishop sacrifice black has given himself time to caste and he still maintains a big material advantage. I am not saying that this is blacks best defence (I'm sure he has better moves earlier) but just wanted to use this variation to illustrate my point.

Although some bad moves, it's still quite beautiful. Cool

Unfortunately, I have to say that this a game of incredible mistakes. Clearly, the rook sacrifice was not correct. Black had plenty of possibilities to avoid the following misery and actually to win quickly. Start with 13. .... Bxc3, one move later 14. ... 0-0 and even 15 ... Kf8 would all be winning moves. So although the games looks attractive and the final win is impressive it's probably not one of your best ones.
