Weird chess game!

I'm thinking of joining the ICC again. I had a membership years ago and let it lapse, though I still play the occasional game as a guest. I just checked and their fees are reasonable, so even if I don't play even every month it still may be worth it re-join. Regardless, I owe them after playing as a guest for so long.

In any case, I just played a really weird ninja game (which I won). I let myself get under time pressure fairly early, so I was under pressure for most of the game, but I performed well even given the complex position Smiley Here's the PGN:

Rxe8 Rfxe8 28. axb6 Bxc6 29. Rxc6 Re5 30. Bxd6 {Black resigns} 1-0

One strange thing is that I never moved my queen.

Gotta give the final position:

Ah, yes, the good old Sicilian opening... a strong position to start from. I prefer the Dirty Sanchez, myself, but, nonetheless, spot on. Bravo.

(Was that wrong?)

Man, I hate resignations. It's jsut so gratifying to checkmate. Especially when you do it as infrequently as I do.
