Tal would bow before me

@MrPushwood
Yeah, White was winning thanks to Black's blunder before the sacrifice came into force. But he made a nice combination. In intense games, no one can think more than Tal which is what I wanted to say.

Guys, thank you for all your comments. Let me explain the whole 'Tal'-thing. First I would like to point out that the opponent didn't blunder a piece or anything (not a 1200 blunder), it was more of a 'positional' blunder. One would have to catch the weakness and know how to exploit the pressure points efficiently(&effectively).

1. h4 is considered to be a blunder according to computer analysis, but it turned out to be a crucial move that ended the game.
2.Rd7!! This is the move I wanted everyone to see. Might not be the 'top-engine move', but a vicious one! A beautiful empty square sac.
3. And of course the finish. A queen sac followed by a pawn checkmate. No more words needed.

What I meant by the whole Tal-thing is this: I played the most aggressive, flashy moves possible. If Tal played this game, I doubt he would have played in a crazier(&wild) way than this. Since Tal is known for his deadly&flashy style of play, I thought I played in the spirit of Tal as Akbar mentioned, if I ever played in anyone's spirit.

Thank you, and happy new year.
