I'm not sure if Correspondence in GoTM is allowed, but in this game I played a weird opening with some weird tactical maneuvers and somehow won. If it's not allowed as GoTM, please tell me and I will delete this game and submit a new one.

I'd like to share the following game with you:

https://lichess.org/ePb7ai683IKD

A well-known combination, but precision was required, as there were many tempting alternatives which didn't work, including 12.Bxh7+? Kxh7 13.Ng5+ Kg8! 14.Nxe6 Qb6 or 14.Qh5 fxg5 15.hxg5 Ndxe5 16.g6 Nxg6.
I've annotated it in my study Good games, which also contains a game ILikeBlitz - Shuvalov, which I'd planned to nominate before playing this one.

A brilliant game, but I'm afraid that it isn't allowed. I might be mistaken, though.
