Thats why i like bullet chess. check out move 19 for black. The rest of the game is kind of rubbish....

19. Qc4+ Kc2 20. Qxc3+ Kb1 21. Ba3 with mate to follow would have been awesomer.
You re right but im not that good in bullet so i always go for material first and an easy mate then.

In that sequence 21. Nxc3+ would win faster, but anyway, I don't see how a simple mate is awesomer than a quadruple royal fork :)
Well done buddy.
Edit: sorry I misread. In that variation 20. Qxa2 mates faster.

The queen is on c3.

Checkmate ends the game. Thus, its awesomerness cannot be eclipsed.

Beautiful family fork
Yes, it ends the game, and it is the purpose of the game. But don't confuse best objective move with awesomeness my friend :) those are two different things. And if that is more awesome to you, then ok.
Haven't you ever learned that the threat is stronger than the execution? Thus, winning while having only threatened the fork, must be a more awesomerly way to win.
