Hello Djordje,

What was the time control? If it was something like 5/12, then why assume
cheating? If it was something like Game in 3 minutes, then yes it is difficult
to play a flawless game; however, it is still not impossible.

I see black _giving_ white the opportunity to play an excellent game. After
black sacrificed the bishop for two pawns to break-up White's kingside, White
played what looked to me like fairly obvious moves. The point is did White play
above his head, or did black play poorly? In my opinion, black played poorly.

Regards,
Mel
