I can't decide whether this is the best or worst chess game I've ever played, but it is certainly one of the more interesting. I thought I had lost it early on, so I adopted a reckless, experimental strategy that somehow paid off.

Interesting game, I am wondering if black can put up more resistance with 28...Ne6, hoping to get a stable square for knight on c5, if can get in b6 without losing big lumps of material.

very nice game , i myself like to play the kings gambit, he did get greedy, that is why the lost.

Thanks to each of you. You're right, John, that ultimately that knight sacrifice didn't gain me much, but I was hoping he would get greedy, accept the coming bishop sac, and lose his queen after the discovered check that would have followed. I think the way it displaced his queen helped a little bit , but you're right that it's that combination that ended in the rook fork that won it for me.

nice tactics!

I enjoyed watching this game in replay. I now know the importance of spectatorship.

Very nice game. When you won black's queen and a pawn for a rook a bishop would not have been that terrible for black if you didn't have that rook fork. That really did him in. There were a lot of tactical themes in that game that were very instructional. The knight sack for two pawns was interesting but, I don't know that it would have gained you anything without black's queen move mistake. I could be wrong though.
