I just lost this game.. The trap my opponent set was quite complex and very well executed.. It totally escaped me... Bad by me... Good by him. Anyway, I found it beautiful.

Am I missing something? What was wrong with 20.....pawn takes knight? Looks like your opponent would've dropped a piece and you had a defensible position.

Yes.. that was probably a mistake. I didn't like the look of 21 e6+ Ke8 22. Rxg7.. Still don't know how that would have played out...

ok.. now i see it 21....Kg6 would have put me a little ahead...
Darn :-(

Very nice... I especially like how you seem to change plan from material gain by promotion magic to mateing attack by force...
Again... Very nice.

Here's a nice mating attack. It started at about move 23ish.Game 662605 Round and round and round we go. 😉

11. g4 wasn't the blunder it seems at first glance. I had his queen trapped.

Here's another. Game 763043

Mating attack started on 15 in laying the trap.

Don't comment on the opening please, he's a buddy of mine who plays chess casually, and doesn't study theory.
