This is one of the games that I will always remember. Old one from my early days playing chess. I participated in the World Championships for the first time, section "Girls under 16" with a pretty good result: I finished 8th. Also this game was quoted in a chess book later (also for the first time). My opponent Yelena Dembo from Greece is now an IM (International Master).} 1. e4 c5 2.

Bang! Bang! Ka-BOOM!! Boom! Ka-BOOM!! Bang! Boom! Ka-BOOM!! This looks like a WWII bombing raid but it's just World Under 16 girls going at it in a ruthless King's Gambit Accepted. Black promptly accepts two pawns, yet manages rapid piece development. White sacrifices the light-squared Bishop on move six to avoid the center pawn fork trick, and the fight is ON. Black sacrifices the exchange to demolish a crucial central defender. Suddenly Black delivers four pieces on White's fourth rank by the 20th move!?!
