in a locked up position i initiated a crazy sac attack that actually started off as a total blunder.  somehow i managed to sac three minor pieces and a queen for a rook to achieve mate.  my opponent was very gracious and deserves recognition for their sportsmanship.  i would imagine that when i get the computer analysis back on this game that its a total blunder fest but enjoy the spectacle without looking to deeply into the position :)

Nice game! You could also have won with 33.Rh7+, but a queen sac is at least as nice =)

Very nicely played. I think it was an accidental tactical trap and not a genuine mistake. He/she should have taken notice of what might happen more carefully before opting to take the bishop.

I believe he could've defended with 33... Qg4.  But 33 Rh7+ mates:  33... Kg8 (33... Kxg6 34 Rg5+) 34 Rh8+ Kg7 35 R5h7+ Kxg6 36 Qh4.

Great job.  Nice.  You waited and saw the, "space he left behind," by jumping into the attack.

I very much enjoyed that.  It's like those sacrificed peices were just decoys so that you could run your secret undercover opperation unnoticed.  Well done.
