With a smooth manuever like  24....Qxe4,  it's lucky white survived the game at all.

However, 37. Qf3 + is a fantastic fork, no doubt about it.


Lucky? I deliberately set up the queen to be trapped and forced the exchange for the rook for the material advantage.

Marshall Dillon,

   I was making a light hearted joke because I thought black just blundered the queen.  But, when you point it out, I totally missed the elaborate trap you had the black's queen in.  Very Nice.

 And still, props to the 37. Qf3 + fork.
