    I really like my 18th move - intuitive sacrifice which would give strong attack if my opponent would accept it. Unfortunately opponent scared and refused it, making decisive mistake.

    Despite of my opening blunder I managed to overplay my opponent. The final position is really nice 🙂

    And far too many players here decry the Ruy Lopez! Play it wrong and you're toast.
