Let loose an insane barrage of tactical threats that are too complicated to calculate in a three minute game, of course!
I was, obviously, black.
1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. Nc3 e6 4. Bb5 Bd7 5. Bxd7 Nxd7 6. O-O Ngf6 7. d3 a6 8. Bg5 Be7 9. Re1 O-O 10. a4 Qb6 11. a5 Qxb2 12. Qd2 Ne5 13. Nxe5 dxe5 14. Reb1 {oops} Nxe4 15. dxe4 Bxg5 16. Rxb2 Bxd2 17. Ne2 Rfb8 18. Rd1 Bg5 19. Rd7 Kf8 20. Rdb7 Rxb7 21. Rxb7 Bd8 22. c4 Bxa5 23. Nc1 Bb4 24. Nb3 a5 25. Na1 a4 0-1 {white resigned in view of the overwhelming pawn advantage}
I usually prefer to be the poisoner of the pawn, not the person eating the poisoned pawn. But, whev. Also, as far as I can tell, after 15. Rxb2 Nxd2 16. Bxe7 and a bunch of ugliness with pawns I simply end up a bishop down with no compensation. That is, yay time pressure.
