Morphy being my favorite player, I try to play like him.  I believe I'm getting there.

It's weird how this thread says it was last posted in 7 days ago when I just created it...

nice game, i liked it. in the swashbuckilng style of Morphy.

good game but h6 wAS a lemon

Well, mate is not quite inevitable: 21... Kg7 22. Qf7+ Kh8, and there's no clear way to mate.

23. Rf6 Qxf6! 24. Qxf6+ Kh7. If White don't continue with checks, Black either exchanges the White Knight, and a long enough endgame ensues, or, if Knight moves, they play e3-e2!, and White actually lose.

23. Ne4? is also countered with e3-e2, and after 23. Nd5 Black answer Qg8!, forcing perpetual check (Queen exchange is fatal for White).

20. Re5+ would be a nice way to win.

20. ... Qe7 21. Rxe7+ Kd8 22. Qf7! Rh8 (22. ... Rxf7 23. Rxf7 Ke8 24. Rf1) 23. Qg7 is pretty.

But I liked the game. King's gambit games where White wins are always pretty.
