How did I win?

Hello all,

I have just recently played a game against a player of a much much higher rating to myself (1936 compared to my 1470). I would also say that my rating probably is an accurate reflection of my level as I regularly lose to players ranked in the 1500s and can usually beat those in the 1300s.

So I play this one game below and I am able to win it (seemingly comfortably) and as I m the first to admit that I am a player who relies on moments of madness/inspiration to try and beat a player by concept of good position and protecting squares etc is quite weak.

So this game below, I would love to get the opinions of better players than myself as to whether my victory here was a fluke, did I manage to happen upon a vein of form that meant for one game I played at a level that belies my true standard, or has my opponent got overconfident and not noticed I might win?

I may never beat a player this good again and so would love to know how I managed it. :)

(I want to start with a win, before I potentially post the countless games that I lose do you lack of concentration, poor tactics or good old fashioned idiocy. :) )

I would really appreciate the imput, thanks.

Nice win. Black played as he had no plan, such a strange moves.

 thanks,

I also spent the game trying to work out black's plan. Every turn I was fearing the 'move out of nowhere' that kills me and makes me look for a corner to cry in.

Good game, congrats on the win!

Just one observation from me, I disagree that you had mate in 2, I assume you were preparing Qh6 regardless of your opponents next move, but that would weaken the pawn on f6, allowing black to capture it with his knight. Unfortunately for him, he moved his knight, losing the game.

Yes that's a point, I believe my plan was originally to move the  pawn to f5 in an attempt to fight my way to knight.

Whether that would have worked... :)
