Life and death in blitz

[Joaz Banbeck]

This was 1 minute plus 5 30-sec byo-yomi. I'm posting it as much for entrtainment as for review. But if you can come up with some insights from this game that would make me a better player, I wouldn't mind at all. The funny thing is, I think he still had a decent chance when he resigned.
