In a game of speed chess, I sacrificed my knight for victory. My opponent was leonardo9329 of Brazil, who played black. Here are the moves of the game along with my commentary:
1. e4 g6
2. d4 Bg7
3. Nf3 d6
4. c4 Nf6
I have a strong pawn centre.
5. Nc3 Bg4
6. Bd3 Nc6
I usually play Be2, but I decide to overprotect my pawn.
7. Be3 h5
8. h3 Bd7
I expect black to take my knight, but he retreats.
9. 0-0 Qc8
10. Kh2 e5
I prevent Bxh3.
11. d5 Ne7
12. c5 Qd8
I prepare to open the centre.
13. cxd cxd
14. Nb5 Nc8
Black wants to prevent Nxd6+, but the king is in the centre of the board. It is better to play Bxb5.
15. Rc1 a6
It is better to castle.
16. Nc7+ Kf8
17. Nxa8 g5
It is hard to find good moves for black, but this simply drops a pawn.
18. Ng5 Bb5
19. Nc7 Bxd3
20. Qxd3 Bh6
21. Nge6+ fxe6
I sacrifice my knight. Black accepts the sacrifice, but his queen is lost because I can play Ne6+ on my next move.
Blacks plays very defensive moves with Bd7 and Nc8, but he fails to provide adequate protection for his king. This allows me to play a knight sacrifice. Whether black accepts or declines the sacrifice, he can not save his queen. For this reason he resigns.
