Played this 1 min. game at break-neck speed against a bullet player rated about 120 points above me.  He ended up winning on time.  If I only had 2 more seconds there was a wonderful mate I saw.  Oh well, didn't have enough time, but boy would that have been nice.

It looks like you could have initiated the mate from move 33 (three moves earlier).
