Best Win

I played this game vs an opponent of 1420 (now 1330) to great success resulting in a win.

I really like this game because it was my first opportunity to use the "fork trick" which I read about, where after all 4 knights and the bishop are out you trade the knight for a pawn and then push up your other pawn to win either a knight or a bishop. And I felt that I caught him off guard and managed to scrape a win despite his superior playing.

Yeah that was a good tactic. I remember something similar in the Accelerated Dragon Sicilian when White does not play Bb3.

Basically your trying to say you're happy to be able to catch a stronger player off guard with that? ( He should have just captured the pawn with his bishop then let the queen take it making material even)

And I wouldn't really consider his play as superior to yours really

Tartakower used to deliberately fall into that fork trick, and play 5Bxf7ch KxB 6. Nxe4 etc. Not many other strong players like this line for white though.

I think even better would be after 4 ... Nxe4 5 Bxf7!, trading even and leaving the king unprotected. And I agree that his play wasn't really superior, going after minor pawns while you're busy attacking his king. I think that cost him the game.

He was very hard pressed on kingside though, I thought he did very well after being caught off guard like he was.
