T76 Highlights: Round 2

fireball wins with the Smith-Morra Gambit! . 
One of my favorite openings - key after gambiting the pawn is keeping the pressure on.

I thought about this move below, which looks good at first blush but fails to the B check which gives back a tempo... (22...¤c3 23.¥xb7 ¤xe2 24.¢f1 ¦b8 25.¥c6 ¢f8 26.¢xe2) 23.¤hxf5 £d7 24.¤xd5
