Crazy Blitz Chess

Chess is a complex game - sometimes you win, sometimes you lose; sometimes you deserve to lose and still manage to win.  This is probably the craziest game of Chess I've played - Blitz again - but I was very pleased with the way I wrapped it up.  Firstly, the step-by-step video replay:



I played White, and selected my standard Queen's Gambit opening.

White "davidleese1010"  vs Black "tarekamine"

1. d4     d5
2. c4     Nc6 
3. Nc3   Bf5
4. Qb3   Na5
5. Qa4+   c6
6. cxd5   e6
7. e4   exd5
A blunder from which Black never really recovered.  

8. exf5   Qe7+
9. Be3   Nc4
10. Bxc4  dxc4
11. Qxc4  Nf6 
12. Nf3   Ne4 
13. O-O   O-O-O 
14. Rfe1  Qd6 
15. Nxe4  Qc7 
16. Ne5   Rd5
17. Rad1  f6 
18. Nf3   Rxf5 
19. d5   cxd5 
20. Qxc7+ Kxc7 
21. Rc1+  Kb8
22. Red1  

Setting a cheeky trap.  Black cannot capture because Rd8 is checkmate.  And now, I've centralised both my rooks.

22. ...   Bb4 
23. Nc3   Rd8 
24. Nd4   Rh5 
25. a3   Bd6
26. b4    Bxh2+ 


Missed that one.  But at least I have an easy escape square, and now my pieces gravitate towards Black's King.

27. Kf1   Be5 
28. Ncb5  a6 29. Ne6   Rd7 
Forcing Black's Rook off the back rank, with my Rook on c1 now waiting.


30. Ba7+  Ka8
31. Rc8+  1-0

Final position: my pieces are so precariously placed that my only option was to keep moving forwards at maximum speed!
