The Desolation of the Sicilian

This is my first official game against Pino Verde - a veteran chess campaigner in Scarborough Chess Club.
We played the standard Sicilian and on move 12 I sacrificed my Knight to open up the center for a strong initiative. This game demonstrates the mighty use of pin, pressure and poison attack on the uncastled King trapped in the center.
Pino at first nodding then shaking his head at the realization of the difficult predicament he was facing.
