Shoot, I can't seem to watch the movies on my tablet. Will have to try from PC later.
It double posted for some reason.
Would j6 have mated too instead of h6 at the end?

Yes. Either way it's a "Goliath" mate. Not sure which one has more style points. :-)
This game has the sneakiest trap ever set by a player with the black pieces. White is allowed to capture 2 pieces in a row, one with check even, all to set up a queen sacrifice for a stunning checkmate with the Archbishop and Chancellor.
Merry Christmas chess.com people. Hopefully you all got checkers sets under your tree this year.

Getting wood going correctly usually costs *lots* of money. Wait, that didn't sound right at all... ;-)
Ed always hires the best of the best.
I don't see anything funny.
