    Lol, ok. I just went back and looked over a few lines, but I couldn't really find a solid defense. I thought there was one there while the game was going on, though. Let me know if you find anything solid.

    after analyzing deeper here are all the bad moves that need to be highlighted and in {} is the correct move(or what I believe to be the correct move)

    18.b4?{18.d4}
    19.Qb3?{again 19.d4}
    22.Rac1?{c5}
    24.Rc2?{Qd1}
    27...Rf4?{Rcd8}
    28.Kh2?{cxd6}
    28...Rh4?{Rf6 or Rd8}
    29.Rg1??{Qe6!}I knew that Rg1 was a blunder.

    I didn't look at the earlier ones, but I agree Rh4 was a mistake for me. Qe6 is scary there, but I think I can still get out even from that position. Not positive though. But anyway, instead of Rh4, I should have played d5 blocking the queen's way in which should win pretty easily (along the same line that I ended up winning on). Qe6 is definitely a scary move though after Rh4. Glad he missed it 😛.

    Here's one of my better efforts...

    Game 4150754

    No Rooks or Queens involved but pretty effective and a nice mate to boot.
    no rook or queen, but great sacrifices of both bishops, a knight and a pawn! That was great! well done

    that was very nice although it is not a queen sac because you got a knight, bishop and rook in exchange.

    Ah, is that because of the value of the pieces?
