this one's in Progress, but it should be a win for me.
go on and start thinking about it...
once the game's over, I want to hear whether the sacrafice on a1 was sound, and whether it was a blunder or a brilliancy.
my opponent, though only 1600 provisional on this site, is rated 2000+ on at least one(I think 2) other sites...
so i'm not playin' a pushover.

my opponent just resigned,
so we can talk about it
was I lucky? or brilliant?
I still insist you are one of the strongest players (with a legit rating) under 1500 on this site. It reminds me of one of Tal's open ended sacrifices. Just brilliant, congrats.

where do you see the unsoundness?
Qa5+ was weak, as were the other knight moves on the queenside...
but I see no other alternative other than for black to do everything in his power to castle queenside ASAP
Yes, after a rather hasty, though fairly definite analysis... move 14 gave white the win. That move was key. h6!! won for black, e5?? won for white. Very classy game, nice to see guts like that.
edit- Black's Rg7 was bad too... as well as a number of other moves, but after e5 black was pretty much lost.

my (beautiful?) game
