I actually feel a little bad about playing it purely because of the phychological impact of the final move. He gets a reality check that takes him from "up two points in material, winning" to "Checkmate in 3"

I agree that Nh5 was better. nice trap though =)

could've at least let the poor guy keep a little dignity by not posting his name on the game. Then again, I'd post his name too.

That looks like an interesting little game and before you know it you set up to mate him. Nice work.
Rob, yes it is a forced mate, Qa4# at the end of your line (although I didn't exactly analyze this midgame)

I play d4 all the time and I can't understand the purpose of 4.a3. I have never played that in my life. Obviously this game proves my point rather emphatically!

Wow that's really neat. What happens with 10. f3 though?
