Here’s one more video for you, of my game from the last World Blitz Chess Championship, in which I won against Grandmaster Alexander Grischuk, rated #10 in the world (ELO 2736). Look at how surprised he was when I played 24. Qxg8+ which leads to mate next move.
The PGN of the game is as follows:
[Event “World Blitz Campionship 2009”]
[White “Kosteniuk, Alexandra”]
[Black “Grischuk, Alexander”]
[Result “1-0”]
1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 a6 6. Bg5 e6 7. f4 Qb6 8. Qd2 Qxb2 9. Nb3 Qa3 10. Bxf6 gxf6 11. Be2 Nc6 12. O-O Bd7 13. Kh1 Rc8 14. Bh5 Bg7 15. f5 O-O 16. Rf3 Ne5 17. Rg3 Kh8 18. Rf1 b5 19. Ne2 Qxa2 20. Ned4 Nc4 21. Qf4 e5 22. Qg4 Rg8 23. Bxf7 Bh6 24. Qxg8+ 1-0
