I apologise unreservedly to my opponent for showing this, but it is my finest moment on this website and I have been on a bit of a losing streak lately, so I just wanted to show this game, in which I create an unstoppable mate by sacrificing my queen.

Here it is Game 384060

I apologise to Burvm01 if this seems like gloating, it is merely relief, and the first game I have won in a while. If it is any consolation, looking at your other public games, I think you'd bury me, and I offer you a rematch to do just that.

Nice but hardly original. This is a VERY, VERY, VERY well known mate...Philador Opening Mate (c50)

Well that puts me in my place. Sorry for being excited about something I'd never done before. I'll try not to intrude on your incredibly satisfying omniscience anymore. It's just that some people may not have as much experience in the world of chess as you Obi-Wan. I'm VERY, VERY, VERY sorry.
