Yepper...that is what I meant. White's 14th move could have been a disaster if not for black's hastiness in overlooking the lifesaver.

odd... but all of these games had MAJOR blunders in them...none of them had any brilliance to them...just simple punishment of chess ignorance

Absolutely true. It's all about recognising and punishing the obvious. I don't think I have any mates in under 20 but even good players can sometimes overlook the obvious Game 1685264
