after analysis it appears i missed an opportunity for mate to force the tactic :( so nevermind..... or let it be an example of needing better vision

I would like to share this position with you that I got to in an OTB blitz game:
See if you can work out the moves that I made in the game, and then post what you would have done in that position. I'm interested if anyone thought the same as me.
nice, I see what you did there. not that mine is an authoritative opinion, but since you asked, I probably would have kept his king busy with my rook and queen and just hope I can mate the opponent before he can convert his pawns. would that work? pretty decisive victory for you though!

Yes; your tactic does work. I tried it against Chessmaster DS:
And this was my opponent's first blitz game; whereas I had played a few blitz games before (5|0 time control if anyone's interested). He is a much better player under rapid time control (usually 15|0) when he has time to think about his move.
Also, here's a position from another game that I played (a 15|0 against a stronger opponent than the previous):
This thread is about tactics.You can post tactic postions for other players or ask questions about tactical motives. Have Fun :)
