missing c5 is something i would do.
the benjamin hughes game was pretty cool. also the hess-khachiyan.
both involved a typical knight sac in the sicilian (Nxe6, Nd5)
the shabalov-sevillano game seemed interesting too but I'm not really sure what was going on.
first shabalov took on f6, I guess he was hoping to open up black's king and attack, but after going g4 it's as though he was helping black, giving him a target and have an open file against his king. then when he allowed Qxd6-Qxd4 he was just down two pawns?
the final move was nice too, threatening Rxc3 followed by Rh1+, Rg1 Rxg1 Kg1 Ne2+ fork. if white goes Rg1 black just goes Rh-h3 attacking the knight, if the knight moves, Rd1 mate.
