Let me guess, you were being generous in giving him a chance to notice the mate threat.

Not mate under 20, but a nice queen trap in the Vienna Game on the 13th move. I felt it belonged in this thread (as it is a decisive, game-winning advantage in under 20 moves).

Game 1666337

The nice thing about the Vienna Gambit is that White has the means to punish severely even the smallest tactical inaccuracy by Black.

not sure what you mean by that - looks to me like he took it as soon as he could.

ALSO: nice play lukemcmullan, im sure it would have been over soon anyway with a clear file and a full head of troops 😀 ill let it slide that it wasnt actually mated 😉

No he didn't. He waited a move.

Another Vienna Game! Mate in 20. He had to give up the queen for knight to avoid mate. He moved the queen instead of 18...Nd7.

when posting a reply you need to click the "Insert link to a game" link (down below the "post" button) and insert the game id (numbers on the end of the URL you posted) into the window that comes up.

OR simply type [ g i d ] game id in here [ / g i d ] without the spaces

[Edit]
I didnt have the chance earlier to actually have a look at the game but i just had a look and you played that well - he didnt put up much of a fight but you took every advantage you could - i like 😀
