Blitz Game

Here is a Blitz game I played on Chesscube recently.

I open with the Italian game but find myself surprised by my opponents 5th move.

I miss the opportunity to take the advantage and give a slight advantage to my opponent.

I have posted this game as I found a nice way to finish the game with a discovered check followed by mate.

Hope you enjoy!
