I can't really tell if this was a good move or not, but it sure was fun and led to me winning the game... if anyone has any analysis I'd greatly appreciate it.
It appeared to me that no matter what good things happened after I got the check with the white bishop... but could he have stopped me (or rather, ended up a bishop ahead or whatnot)?

At a glance I would say they may have had some other replies instead of taking the bishop. If they had played a more defensive move that dealt with the threats to their king then they may have got out of it and even turned the tables.
But what you did worked because they didn't see the danger in all the latent threats you had going....so in that sens it was both an interesting move and a winning one.

Good move.

Originally posted by SirKnifesalotIf you cannot tell the move you did is good or not, don't play it. But in my own opinion it's a winning move. Black has an exposed king very bad pawn structure (b6 pawn exposing black??!)there are so many ways for white to just break through. Black's minor pieces are not even developed. It's a bad case for black in any way.

I think he can't stop you if he takes your bishop.
Good play by White to spot the final shot but it did appear Black
was playing Crash Chess. The stats highlight the Black problem.
Of the 18 moves. The King made 3, The Knight 4 and the pawns 11.
The moment Black played 11...f6 any check on the h5-e8 diagonal would win.
In this position White played 12.Nxg4
But 12.Qxg4 and if 12....fxe5 13.Qg6+ mate next move.
After 12.Qxg4 the Killing check cannot be prevented.
oooh, I really like the queen move suggested by the previous player, I completely missed it. And yea, I generally prefer to play wild positions because my positional chess is not very good! (I suppose it couldn't hurt to learn but I mostly play for fun anyway, and wild positions are a lot more fun to me than positional chess, which I don't understand very well).
