B73 Sicilian Dragon: Classical System without 9.Nb3 (1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 g6 6.Be2 Bg7 7.O-O O-O 8.Be3 Nc6 9.Qd2 Ng4)

This one was played in a team match called PFCC vs. Vulcan Science Academy. The match is played on 17 boards and I am playing on board 2 for Vulcan Science Academy against ruthlessqueen who is playing for PHILIPPINES' FINEST Chess Club. The current score in this match is 7 - 19 in favor of Vulcan Science Academy, so we have secured the win at this point. The game below is one of the rare wins that I have lately been able to get at Chess.com and the way my games are going there at the moment that downhill might continue still for some time. I have added two mate in ones, two mate in fours and one mate in nine today.
