Blackmar-Diemer Limontas c5

I never miss a mate in 1. Wait. I sometimes do, especially in blitz! FM Martynas Limontas of Lithuania transposed into the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit Avoided Variation 3.Nc3 c5 by 2.Nc3. Darius Babrauskas played sharply and accurately in this contest to obtain a two pawn advantage. Then Black castled into a mate on move 18. White blitzed his response before he noticed the mate, but he didn't miss the mate after his opponent's next move.
