Joined 24 May '08 Moves 717 Plenty of mistakes by both, but I thought I'd share an interesting blitz game using the Morra against a fairly decent opponent.
I'm not entirely sure 9.Nd5?! is sound, and after a quick glance at Stockfish 14.Bxf6 probably deserves a ??
Still, a fun game and please excuse later errors because we were both down to about a minute left by move 30.

Joined 22 Sep '20 Moves 2987 Black sure made a lot of pawn moves instead of getting his pieces developed 🤔
Joined 19 Aug '12 Moves 4076 Good for blitz as the psychological impact of the sac (Nd5) is worth its weight in gold in blitz. Any Sicilian player should guard against making too many pawn moves/pawn grabs.
Joined 24 May '08 Moves 717 More Morra carnage. Rook infiltration!
5 minutes against a 2000 rated blitz player.
Quite an instructive game this, for anyone interested in taking up this opening.
It has the signature set-up, with the e4-e5 push and again the knight sac on d5.
Enjoy. I did 🙂

That first game, this postion.
Reminded me very much of my OTB Club Championship game v Richard Kynoch.
this was the final position in our game:
Three pieces can take the piece giving mate...but they are all King-Pinned!
I was looking for similar type of mate in your game.

5 minute Morra. Speculate to accumulate!
