C11 French: Classical System: 4.e5 and 4.Bg5 dxe4 (1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.e5 Nfd7 5.Nf3 c5 6.Ne2 Nc6 7.c3 b5)

Here it is, the game that I typed about in my previous post. This is probably the best game I have played this year so far anyway. My opponent is a young Polish International Master whose rating in Online Chess may not be impressive for a titled player but as I noticed some of his ratings at Chess.com, he seems to be strong bullet player with a rating of 2625 and he also seems to have a great eye for tactics as his tactics rating 2831 would suggest. There is no doubt that he is a much better player than I am and also 12 years younger than me, meaning that he could still become much stronger.
