Here is another in under 20 that I am proud of... Love the smothered mates! This mate could of been avoided and I'm pretty shocked that someone rated above 1500 went to the one square they shouldn't have. That's why they call them blunders right?

After Rf2 and and Qg3 I'm pretty sure I have mate under 20. If it turns out I'm wrong please tell me and I apologize for putting it in this thread if it is over is over 20 moves.

(remember to watch for check moves that interrupt a seemingly forced combination!)

Well, at least this one is under 20 moves.
