Game 6052095

Did White's 18th move give me mate in 2 or did he make a mistake?

EDIT - Sorry, fixed!

Think it may be this game (it's the last mated finish and it finishes
soon after move 18).

White was lost anyway - taking the Knight on e1 put himself out
of his misery.

Good sensible Black play - you did nothing but went for development
whilst youropponent lost time and lost pieces.

White could have played 19. Be3 to stall the mate for one move more, if that is what you are asking.
