Kind of proud of this game. Some may pick it apart and see how much I suck but I enjoyed it and my opponent and I are 1 and 1.

But it's mate next turn.
I liked the bishop one better.
I guess I was considering the one at the end a sac. More of a mating move I guess. I figured he'd trade queens and I'd be down a pawn or two. Then when I played the bishop check I thought he'd move his king and I could take his queen and try to set up a mate depending on his next move. Something like moving my bishop down attacking the "a" rook and checking with mine and possibly checking with my queen after that and take his other rook. I dunno though. Sometimes I see these great moves but only if my opponent plays along. I forget they are going to be making the best move or I'll only look at a couple of variations missing the best for him heh.
