CHECKMATE in under 20 moves

Just like every person with a guitar is an instant Slash.

If I buy two soccer balls can I move to LA with Beckham?

And not to mention the thousands of people who own cars but can't drive.

I wasn't expecting a win out of the bishop check so I played a little bit of hope chess and it worked. Really I just wanted to take the attention away from my light squared bishop but got a mate instead.

Game Id 3032201

Game 3047470

My first win in under 20 moves (a few bang on 20 though), big blunder at the end saw me mate in 1 but he was lost anyway.

Queen Sac and win in 5 moves
Game 3050972

Very clever use of the 'Bird'! I've never been able to use that opening with such quick tactical development.

Game 2888569

This was the first game I played in this site. I think the knight sacrifice on the fifth move was pretty nice. And then my opponent cooporated nicely to end the game in 8 more moves.. He never saw it coming.

Game 2944273

Unorthodox opening, led him to difficulties developing his pieces, he resigned in 18 moves. CHeckmate two moves later anyway. Probably the funnest (is that a word, lol) game I've ever played, regardless of who won.
