This was a very drawish game, but thankfully my opponent blundered a few times for me so I was able to easily win.

Congrats.  Out of curiosity is my calculator not working.....

 

6.b-h5?!, Isn't this the classic example of Nxe5? winning a pawn or legals mate

erikido23, yes, but that would take a blunder for me.  nxe5 and nxe5 then i am attacking his queen and bishop.  he would just go down a piece.  but if nxe5 and bxd1 that would be the classic example.  even in the correct set up legals mate is a blunder (i think) that relys on the opponent making a blunder.
