Sam has closed his piano and gone to bed ... now we can talk about the real stuff of life ... love, liberty and games such as Janus, Capablanca Random, Embassy Chess & the odd mention of other 10x8 variants is welcome too

This game is fairly even until move 18;when I sacrificed a Knight for 2 Pawns to relieve pressure on my Kingside. Ratings are those at the time of the game. Game:396028 Match:17050. My rating was 1592 dokesa's was 1936. I am White. 1.)Nh3 d6, 2.)i3 e5, 3.)Bi2 h6, 4.)f3 Ah7, 5.)Af2 g5, 6.)0-0 Nc6,(completes my first objective of Castling quickly by using a Gothic King's Indian set-up. Now I plan to bring pressure against his Centre to create a weakness.) 7.)Nc3 b6, 8.)d3 Bb7, 9.)e4 Bf6, 10.)g4 Cg7, 11.)Be3 Nj6,(I have some Queenside pressure verses dokesa's Kingside set-up;but there are no noticeable weaknesses so far as I can see so far.)12.)Nd5 Ne7, 13.)Nxf6 Axf6, 14.)Nj4 i5, 15.)Nh3 Qd7, 16.)d4 0-0-0?!(Seems to a strategic error;because of my Queenside pressure appears too great. Unfortunately,I can not take immediate advantaage.)17.)d5 Ba6, 18.Nxi5!?(disrupts his Kingside Pawn Formation; thus relieving some of the pressure on that side. I believe this justifies the sacrifice.) 18.)....h6xi5, 19.)Axi5 Ci6,(Now I must submit to a temporary,but fairly weak Counter Attack.) 20.)Aj4 Ci8, 21.)h4 Nh7, 22.)h5 j5, 23.b3 Rj7, 24.c4!(preparing to bring my Chancellor to the b-file via d3.)24.)....Ri7, 25.)Cd3 Ri4, 26.Ah3 Ni5? (forces my Archbishop to its best square for defense. His attack is fizzling;since he must weaken his Queenside to make it work. He does not have the Time.) 27.)Ag7! Nh7, (Now it is my turn.) 28.Cb4 Bb7, 29.)Qd2 Ah8, 30.)a4 Rf8?? (Severely weakens his Queenside; my next 2 moves will seal his fate.) 31.)Cb5 (threatens Cxa7+; thus forcing his response.)31.)....Kb8, 32.a5! Ba6!? (Delays my attack for only 1 move.) 33.)Cb4 Qc8, 34.)a5xb6! (He looses a piece if he retakes;and simplifies my task. So he must Retreat)34.)....Bb7, 35.Rxa7!!(deprives his King of its escape square at a8;and assures my Mate.) 35.)....c6??(no worse move exists;although I can not find anything much better.) 36.)d5xc6 Nxc6, (Now it is mate in 2.) 37.Qxd6+ Qc7, 38.)Qxc7# This was my first of 4 wins against 1900+ players.(2 others against dokesa and 1 against facepan.) I have a draw against Hercules Beast,a 2000+ player. These are brainking ratings. This match is a 4 win match;currently tied at 3 wins each. I do believe dokesa will win this match.
