A game I shouldn't have won

Here is a game I won, but should have lost. I see many blunders, many because of time, and I am requesting help. Thank you.

9 Qd2- Play the bishop to d2. Then when he takes your knight, you take his, and you are even.

16 d5- play 16 Bxc6+ you don't get the nice mate but you do get a bishop for a rook, good trade. (Btw, I used to avoid having my rooks with one or three spaces between them, just in case I didn't see a fork coming.)

17 Rd4- Best thing to do here is to take his rook with your pawn. If he recaptures then Bxc6#. If he does anything but Be7, then cxb7 is checkmate, and even if he does that, cxb7 is still the best move as it is guarantees you a shiny new Queen.

 22. Rc4- Attack his rook with Bc5 or move your pawn up to make it a passed pawn.

9. Qd2 - I'd just block with Nc3. That way you don't lose your night and his next move needs to either move/protect his knight or you're up a knight.

every move is a BLUNDER!!!!!!!!!!

8 Qxg4

9 Nc3

12 h3, NOT 0-0-0; leads to Nxf2

13 until 15 Bh4 maybe?

17 dxc6!?

18 same

21 dxc6

22 d6

That's most things I would've done differently (+opening), not blunders per se.

lol almost! after I saw that game i nearly wet myself from laughing

7. Qxg4!

16. dxc6! then mate would probably happen next move because of your ratings!

Other than that, there is a lot you could have done different, but you definately SHOULD have won.  Good job.

Hi xbigboy,

You shouldn't have abandoned your plans when black moves 16 .. Nf2

 You could have mated in 2 - 4 moves depending on your opponents moves:

17 xc6   Nxd1  18 c7#

Or

17 xc6  Be7   18 c7+  Kf8  19  c8=Q+  Bd8  20  Qxd8#
