While looking at some games in this line, I analysed some variations and stumbled on this pretty mate which is in the flash file but deserves a diagram of it's own.

Last blitz game of 2010
Last game of chess in 2010 which I won more or less on knowledge from the Flexible French by Moskalenko.

ICC Tactic to beat a GM
Got this position in the 5-minute pool with black against GM Legko who is the very strong Oleg Korneev. I played a ...Nf6 against the Tarrasch variation of the French and found a slightly non-standard tactic for this line.
17...Nh3+!
A good move but only second best, 17...Nxg2!! probably does the job slightly better ;-)
18.gxh3
18.Kh1 Rxf3 -+
18...Rxf3 19.Bh6 Bf4! 20.Bxf4 Qxf4 21.Rcd1 Raf8
And here my position is so overwhelming that even I couldn't blow this despite some decent efforts.....0-1 and a good scalp ;-)
