The future of an early a2a3 is looking very bright ! :-)

I was very pleased to finish the game with a queen sac :

i actually tried a repertoire based on 1 a3 for some time. the bones were
a3 e5 c4 (sicilian-like play)
a3 d5 d4 (prie system)
a3 Nf6 c4 g6 b4 but i didn't like this line that much

also really annoying is a3 g6 where you should probably play d4 or c4 Nc3 i guess but a3 does feel a bit out of place there

Your very surprising 25...Bh3 reminded me of the famous Bh3 endgame move by GM Shirov. You know that game ?

Oh Bh3 was it against Topalov in that endgame? I remember looking at that but I thought it was Ivanchuck for some reason. I was internally laughing cause I figured it would be taken with the queen. LOL. My opponent is roughly rated 700. So it was sorta easy. I can use no time and hang all my pieces and still win.

That list is so amazing I will have to check out the other games. The one that caught my eye was Spassky Averbakh I don't think I have seen the game before.
