Land of the Sky

I finally stopped my winless streak at 12 games by winning my first round game last night. My opponent played the Bird which I naturally had no preparation for so I just winged it. I was able to find the winning move after my opponent played 17. Kh1?. I almost threw it away as we were using an analog clock and I let run down farther than I intended and still had five moves left to make as the hand started raising the flag. I had 10 seconds left when I made my thirtieth move reaching the first time control. After that bit of drama it was just a matter of finishing him off which took 10 more moves.

Round 2 is at 2:15.

after 17. Kh1?
