I just want to see if there is a better checkmate from this position.  And show mine off too!  I will be happy if I played correctly.  *Note black can't play differently or else checkmate will come faster.  the game is included underneath

In the first diagram, isn't 1. h4 Kh5 2. Be2+ Bg4 3. Qg4 mate?

2. Qf5+ definitely doesn't work, I don't care what happened in the game.

You could have won faster with 15. Rb7+ and 16. Qc6.  No matter what black does, there is no guarding the d7 square.

it's not accurate (Aww.)

18.h4 Kh5 19.Qf5+ g5! and mate on move 23 at the earliest.


yeah.. I figured after g5 that g4 would be checkmate.. but then h4 is open for the black king :(

emceenugget:  Ya I figured there was more that I could have done earlier for a faster checkmate but I only included the part of the game that I was proud of.. My foolish pride!  it was a timed game and I just kind of went with what came to mind
