Intuitive Inception

I had won the last twenty games straight (yes I have been like a bullish market at the moment; maybe a few weeks down I'll lose twenty games straight) BUT this one game stood out. By the twentieth move I was already very impressed with this American by the nick of Professor MKA and I asked for his name: for he is a worthy opponent. However, I was coldly snubbed. The only reply I ever got was "You may win this" to which I was tempted to reply "I will win this". Disclaimer: I am never cocky to nice people. Anyway in this match I was dangerously losing my pieces, with the odds getting really stacked against me. Pretty scary. With a suffered force in a perilous and dangerously open position (just check out how my king was attacked "left/ right/ centre") I was about to crack and then I had a Tal Mikhail inspiration. I led my opponent into a deep dark forest with an intuitive sense of abandon. Check out the two instrumental rook sacrifices. A sense of suave quite like that of scoring a bicycle kick. Truly, as warned by experts, the french opening can lead to board wide chaos and fun not for the faint hearted.
