My Chess Game Collection #159. Sicilian Defense: Closed, Traditional Line, 3.Nf3 e5

Click and watch the game in GIF file! I am also providing the PGN file. I played with Whites on 6/24/2020. I am particularly proud of this one. Whites played against a higher ranked Black opponent. The end was a 2 Knight and Rook checkmate!
