My opponent made a mistake late in the opening (Bc4). I was able to punish it by unleashing a quick attack where I gained a lot of tempi against the misplaced bishop.

Not my most favorite, but in my PlayMi game, I allowed a perpetual check and the opponent ran out of time before finding it. During the game I thought I was still winning.
