B21 Sicilian: 2.f4 and Morra Gambit (1.e4 c5 2.f4 Nc6 3.Nf3 g6 4.c3)

I am back again after a couple of days break. I was playing in a Finnish Team Blitz Championships last weekend and managed to get a win against an IM!! That was the best win as of yet in any form of chess that I have ever had.

I had the intention of posting here yesterday but to be honest I was way too tired after the long trip to post here. I should be able to do these posts uninterrupted for a long time since I am not planning to go to a close chess tournament any time soon. This game I found from my collection of analysed games again, so the analysis is a few years old. I did add some things and removed something in the opening analysis but the rest of the game is a bit old analysis. Analysis improved and updated on December 2nd, 2019.
