I have one in 17 movesGame 1717435

this was somewhat ridiculous:Game 1746892,
But I'm very proud of this one:Game 1735821

In the following game, I missed an opportunity to force mate in under 20 moves, which I realized just moments after clicking move. Can anyone spot the winning combination which was not played?

Perfect example that moving out of a skewer is sometimes not the best move...

White is helpless against an elegant dance of the lucky black queen in the quiet gameGame 1499292

Same opening, same story but this this time queen is helped out by both knight and and a bishop for the final blow.Opening of the g file is instructive for beginnersGame 1499260

I decided to learn the Ruy and just started using it in games, so I was happy with this result in a blitz game:

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 d6 4. O-O Bd7 5. Re1 Nf6 6. d4 h5 7. Bg5 Be7 8. dxe5 dxe5 9. Bxc6 Bxc6 10. Nc3 Qxd1 11. Raxd1 Bb4 12. Nxe5 Bxc3 13. bxc3 Bxe4 14. Bxf6 Bxc2 15. Ng6+ Be4 16. Rxe4#
