I don't wish to offend my opponent who seems very pleasant and might beat me in our other ongoing game! This is a fun game with only 18 moves to mate. However, as it starts from a set up position, on move 6 in effect, maybe that cheats a little on the 20 move rule.

Mate in 16 and a really cool final position.

That's a goodie. A Royal Check Mate (hitting King, Queen and Rook).

Black neglected development as well as his light squares and was punished along the f file in classic Blackmar Diemer fashion:

Played this game over at chess.com . A nice knight sac and bishop mate. Time-3/0.

White ...[text shortened]... ahead of Kenya's finest runners and I was a little tired. They were given a one hour head start.
Wow, two thumbs down and zero up. I guess I'm not as funny as I thought 😀

Cute. Only one backward move in the whole sequence.
