C65 Spanish Game: Berlin Defense. Fishing Pole Variation (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 Nf6 4.O-O Ng4)

The game below was played in the second round of the Sarah's Mini Cooper Tournament (No 52). In every round two players will advance to the next round and I got my place on the second round by winning group 14 with a score of 7 out of 8. Now on the second round I am in group 1 and in this four player group I have gathered 3 wins in 4 games that have finished and I have two games left to complete. It is quite likely at this point that I will advance to the third round and still have a chance to get a Mini Cooper trophy. I have added one mate in one, one mate in two, one mate in three and two mate in four puzzles today.
