Thanks @Arysha21!
No problem!
At the beginning of my "career" on chess.com. I had then only studied with the lessons included in Chessmaster 10th.
Never heard about openings at that time, so my opening is special; don't ask me why I played those moves :)

Congratulations, you discovered Maróczy Bind by yourself!

I enjoyed playing this game. The lines were complicated, and considering the number of sacrifices, I think I played a complicated position fairly well.
There is a specific line that I missed after 14. Bg5 which would have made the game super cool though. A straight-up rook sacrifice for deflection to clear up for a rook lift that leads to a mate in 6 :)

My opponent gave a big gasp of exasperation right after my move. Then he came to a grin (and we shook hands). :)

My best game is probably this lichess.org/IbYMbl7f/black
I played the opening horribly because I was basically premoving the opening. I berserked him and he didn't berserk back, yet I still won. btw I'm only 2100 blitz but that's because I only play tournaments when I'm playing blitz, and when I'm playing in blitz tournaments I always berserk. So I'm probably low 2400 strength or high 2300 strength in blitz
