17... Bg3 looks like it mates quickly:  18 Kg1 (forced to avoid 18... Re1 mate) Bf2+ 19 Kh2 (Kf1 Rxd2 mate) Qd6+ (or 19... Ng4+ as well) and mate in a couple more.

17... Bg3 18. Kg1 Qe8 19. Bxc5 Re1+ 20. Qxe1 Qxe1# is forced.

17 ... Qe7 18. Qd1 Rxd2+ 19. Qe2 Qxe2+ 20. Kg1 Qxg2# is also possible.

Yep, typically me, When I rungames on chess master it allways says, ______ misses a forced mate oppurtnity.  bla bla bla.  I allways miss those forced mates

Oww :(

White needs to learn general principles and the importance of King safety......

I'm surprised you didn't knock this guy out cold alot sooner the way he was playing.

Congrats on your win!

How about playing 15. ... Bg3+?  White is forced to move 16. Kf1, and 16. ... Bd3 restores the pin on the knight and immediately threatens to fork the king and queen.  I'm not good enough to see the likely resulting lines in my head, but it seems to cramp White's position pretty well and open up the e file for an attack.

Yes, even better, Henry22 (White's development is none too good!).

You missed some forced mates
