An interesting morra gambit in which white follows a non-standard approach, no doubt causing confusion in the black ranks.

A waiting move, to see what sort of Sicilian he intended ;-)
2...e6
In those days, I didn't like playing against the Kan or Paulsen, so on with the Morra!

In these sort of positions, White's standard set-up with Qe2 and rooks on d1 and c1 is not so effective. Therefore I switched to the plan of playing f4.

Unfortunately 12.f4 runs into 12...Bc5

It would be very risky to take the pawn. Eg. 14...Bxe4 15.Rfe1 f5 16.f3 Bc6 17.Rad1 with tremendous pressure on Black's centre.
15.Rae1
My plan is to push the f-pawn to f5, hitting the knight and opening a few lines.

I presume he didn't want to allow my knight to come to b6, but this is a mistake. He should have castled.
17.f5 Qa5
Pinning the knight. It doesn't work, but he didn't have anything better.
18.e5! Bxa4 19.Bxa4
Even stronger than 19.fxg6 Bc5 20.gxh7+ Kd8 21.Bf2
19...Qxa4 20.fxg6
Now he doesn't have ..Bc5

Desperately trying to close the position.

Winning a rook for nothing, so he resigned.
