Here is a very interesting game where I sacrifice a knight to go for a chase after his king.  This turns out to be my best win so far.  My previous best win was against eric which is one of the staff members.  :)  Maybe that will make eric happy.  :)  Tell me what you think.  :)

If the King doesn't move, 26...Rxg1+ and winning the Queen/Rook. If 26.Kd2 Qxf2,  then 27. Kc1 leads to Rxg1, winning Queen for Rook and if 27. Kc3 Qd4... not sure from the top of my head how it goes after that though...

If 26 Kd2 Qxf2+  27 Kc3 Qd4+ then I was planning on going with 27...f2 no matter where he goes.  This attacks his knight again and threatens to promote.  If he moves the knight then I take his queen or I put him in check again depending on if he is attacking my queen.  :)

I was impressed with your play. You developed a detailed plan and saw it through. Opening the two files on the white king is worth a piece any day. And you got a avalanche of pawns also. This is the type of strategic piece sacrifice that you don't have to see a clear end, it is the kind of position that newbies should study. Good job!

Cute finale.  You also had a win (more straightforward) with 22,,, fe+ (plus you don't have to sack anything).  23 Kxe2 f3+ 24 Kxf3 Qh3+ 25 Ke2 (or 25 Rg3) Qh5+.
