The other thread seems to be closed. It was a place to post interesting blitz games from the RHP blitz room.
I just finished this one (time control 5 minutes + 2 seconds):
I was hoping for 20.Nb6 so that I could sac the rook on a8.
20.Nb6 gxh3 21.Nxa8
And now 21. ... Qg6
22.g3 fxg3
This looks very juicy and quite worth a try in blitz! It would have been very fun to try it out.

This is where I would have used too much time to be playing blitz. It looks like a normal Kings Indian Defense and they can be tricky and I do not know the variations as deep as this. I will stick to slow chess. Seems to be a good game for blitz though. I wish you better luck on the next go around.

P.S. I now see you were Black. I had thought you were White. Good job!

Bog standard Greek Gift. I've no idea if it was sound or not, all I care about is that it works in 99% of blitz games!
