Ian opens with e4, answered by the Sicilian, and proceeded to move the game towards a sideline with h3, g4, and bg2 (popularised in current times by none other than world #1, Magnus Carlsen). Ian sacrificed a pawn early in the game with 12. f6!?, retained the initiative by playing extremely forcefully, and achieved a deserved win after a tactical battle. I especially liked his knight sacrifice with 22. Qh5.
