CHECKMATE in under 20 moves

A game from the 2012 Championship, hence the rating disparity. Definitely a cheapo.

I'm white.

A blitz game (3 minutes start, 12 second increment) played on FICS. I'm black. I generally suck at blitz (even more than I do at regular chess); on that site I'm 1500 standard and about 1000 blitz. I do find it a useful training tool for learning to calculate tactics quickly, though. I've put in some annotations of what I was thinking.

RHP Clan league 7/14 season 7 [C61]

A discovered promotion double check!

Check mate in 18 moves, plus no loss of material!

Well, this was 21 moves total. It is still one of those games I grin at.
