It wasn t a regular time control, 20 mins for each for the whole game.He later confessed he never actually played through this opening and he somehow felt he had to return material.I spent way too much time, and my last moves are made in a hurry.By the way, thanks for your comments on my other blog :)

What was the time control if you don't mind my asking? If you hadn't gotten into time trouble you'd have probably won regardless of the rating difference since he blundered badly with 10...Bxd6. It's tempting to try and maintain the initiative in games like this but after a mistake like Bxd6 I think your lead in development is so significant that you safely take a moment to castle without worrying about the attack stalling.
