This is a curious little crossfire checkmate that took me somewhat by surprise.

19. ... Kf7 and the mate doesn't happen until move 25.

Anyway here is mine.

With 13. Qf3 I was happy with my position. I had the centre completely controlled and the bishop pair.

Hmm, I thought i knew what a bishop pair was but apparently i'm wrong, could you spare some enlightenment for a poor 1200 player?

Notice how I still have both my bishops while the opponent does not. Two bishops is stronger than any other minor piece combination (two pieces).

That is the bishop pair.
