    It never really seemed like you were that far behind. Good win though.

    I saw some cool posibilities for black on move 14:

    That's a good spot Viv. That would have been a turn around!

    Instead of retreating the Rook from c6 White could have wrapped it thus.

    [pgn][Date "????.??.??"]
    [Result "*"]
    [FEN "rn2k2r/pppb1pp1/4pq2/8/1BBP2p1/1Q3P2/PP4PP/R4RK1 b kq - 0 1"]

    1...Rxh2 2.Kxh2 Qh4+ 3.Kg1 g3 { No way to stop mate. And black still could've caused a world of trouble, if you didn't take the rook.}
    *[/pgn]
    This reminds me of a position in the "Fishing Pole" however, that is a King pawn opening.

    No black can play the simple Qc5 and that plan is thwarted.

    You don't want to do that. It looks stupid.

    click "post reply", scroll down on the next page to find "insert smiley", then take your pick. Also click "reply and quote" and you will see the formating of that post, in this case it is # and ) to get 🙄

    I think this game was good because of the rating difference, not necessarily because it was a brilliant game.
