yes, 15........Qxh2+ would have been a very nice winning tactic. As it was played, Black maintained the aggressive stance and pulled thru. thank you for sharing !

Played this game against a 50+ higher opponent and it was the most fun I had so far!!
Post Game Self-analysis highlighted how black horse instead of move 15. Ne2 Ng4 ought to have tipped the game for black earlier by doing 15. Ne2 Qxh2+ 16. Kxh2 Ng4+ leading to the capture of white queen and thereafter the last white Bishop at the expense of the black queen being captured....!!!
That was not to be as black went further defending white offensive moves... until 37. h3 Ke5 leading to white horse taking a black rook only to be checkmate!! Yes Post Game self-analysis highlighted that 37. h3 Rxh3+ ought to have checkmate white King one turn earlier!
Well that was my "fun with chess" learning strategic sacrifice of Queen (9 points) and Rook (5 points).... for winning the Game!!!
