I was happy

...to win a game like this. Last night we had blitz tournament at the chess club. There were 11 players and we played round robin. 7 points from 10 games were good for 4th place only.




This is position from my game against FM Mladen Milenkovic. Having seen square clearance combination from Spassky-Petrosian 1966 so many times helped me to find the move.

1.e5! de5 2.Ne4! ed4? (Losing move. As Mladen argued later, only move was 2...h5 and then 3.gh5 Ne4! is bad for me, but 3.Qe5 gives sharp position with edge for white I think) 3.Bf6 (Better then 3.Nf6 Bf6 4.Bf6 and black is not forced to take!) 3...Bf6 4.Nf6 Kg7 5.Nd7 wins a piece.
