actually, it's nothing spectacular.
I probably should have lost, but I pulled this baby out of my posterior.
brings to mind the old Stevie Ray Vaughan song: "Crossfire"
[my opponent] was stranded, caught in the crossfire!

please, criticize all you want.
I stopped playing 1. ... e5 because my Ruy Lopez sucks.
(I played it here because it's unrated, and I knew the pain would be over in about twenty minutes)
yes, I do realize that I hung b5 (missed the pin after axb3)
and I'm sure there were a zillion other mistakes
but the finale was cool
