Sicilian defense, Yugoslav attack, double rook sacrifice

I'm pretty proud of this game, originally because of the double rook sacrifice at the end, but after looking at it with the computer, practically ANY move would have won, so it's not really so impressive.

Instead, I'm proud that I managed to play the Sicilian without too many inaccuracies. I recently switched to 1. e4 and this was the first real Sicilian game I've ever played. I don't know any theory; I keep meaning to learn, but MCO has like 100 pages on the Sicilian so I don't know where to start. I couldn't find the exact line, but I think the position most closely resembled the Yugoslav attack at the beginning.

I think my opponent's big mistake was not pushing his a and b pawns. It looked like he was trying to control the center instead of attacking on the flank, which is what you are supposed to do in the Sicilian from what I understand. He let me open up the h file and get a strong initiative. It petered out a bit in the middle, but he blundered and sacrificed the exchange unnecessarily.

Strangely, I find myself playing better when I DON'T know the opening. It forces me to actually look at the board and FIGURE OUT the position instead of trying to REMEMBER what I'm supposed to play. But, whatever, I survived the Sicilian, so woo!

Great play and a flashy finish. You should be proud.

that was a sexy finish.
