    I'd like to get some feedback on this game. What does this say about my play? Was this just a fluke checkmate? I think of myself as a positional player. I realize I probably get owned with this position by anyone over 1500. But I feed my oponent 2 minor pieces in exchange for a very tight positional advantage. I have an extremly difficult time NOT taking these situations when I am offered them, sometimes my senses tell me to restrain and not play like this but at move 12, I was looking at it and was pretty sure I had him dead in the water. Is there a way I lose this game after i sac my light bishop or did I have my ducks in a row this time?

    11. f7+ leads to my opponent playing Kf8 which I think leads to an inevitable mate. Had he played Ke7 I see more possibilities for him to escape. I need some anaylsis on this. Am I positionally better, or do my sacrificies end up costing me the game?

    Brave play. Clearly taking your queen with his king was better though.

    I think taking the second piece is very dangerous for black, even if he plays ke7. Then if white plays pxn then I think qx is fine for black, but instead I would probably play bg5 and then after nf6 play qf3 and maybe later ng4 to gang up on the knight and keep the attack going. Instead I would play qxf6 as black and I think white's attack stops there since he must take care of the f2 mate threat
