o_O Damn, you all bought accounts on iCC? I love playing chess and all online, but I mainly just play on chess.com, but iCC has way better players, but the whole thing about paying is just too complicated for me :[ I'm too cheap to pay.

I hear you there. When I started subscribing it was a big freaking deal for me. But I would say it was worth it. Even though I only realized there was a Chess FM part of ICC after years of watching events live.

I still don't listen to Chess FM much, to be honest. Aside from a few people I like just for the accent/point of view/way of talk/etc it just bores me. :/

I'll add that the finish is way tastier when you consider the line 21...Raf8 instead 21...Rhf8. If Black goes 21...Raf8 22. Ne8+! Rxe8 23. Qxf7+ Kh6 24. Qf6+ Kh5 25. Qg5#. And if Black refuses to take dreading e8 Knight, then 22...Kg8 23. Qg5# at once results with funny epaulette mate.

I also found another yummy tactics: if 18...Qe7 19. Rd7! and Black loses Queen for a Rook.

About Black play: maybe drastic measures like 8...f5 were required? The Knight is so strong...

Surprisingly, natural 11...Nf6 might be a bad move. What if he went 11...c5?

18. Ne4, here another option was 18.f5.

That being said, this was hella entertaining game!

I'll get back to this after I finished some assignments. I don't want to dig into it now because I know it'll pick me up and take me away like a hurricane.

I played the latvian, Queens, Baltic gambit's in tournaments I don't know why I favor a similar type of play sacrifice pawns for position/development, very good thinking, I'm not the best at blitz. I play those 2-6 hour matches myself.
