Loved your comment at the end!
I really liked this checkmate
Sort:
4....- Qe7?! How about 4...- Bb4... Would have won a queen straight away.
15... Bxg4+ could have lost the bishop to a pawn.
On 16, ditto. If black had responded axb4, it would not be mate, though black would still be in serious trouble.

Quite right, but the OP should perhaps look at why he played 4...Qe7 anyway; a poor move when developement was needed.

Oh my God, I didn't notice that.

Wouldn't he lose his rook if he got my bishop?
White would in fact loose his rook and the game after axb4.
Earlier in the game you could have played 9. ... Ne3 to win a pawn.
12. ... Bg4 is a wasted move if white doesn't fall for the trap and continues developing with Nf3 and castles.
13. ... Qh4+ is better than 13. ... Bh5 if white doesn't blunder.

Whoops! Yes (duh). It would've prolonged the game though. You could've mated with the queen: Qd3#. No difference, just slightly more natural move to play, but decidely less cool.

I've never posted a game for analysis here. I know it would make more sense to put a game I lost so I could improve, but I'd like to know if there's anything I could have done better.
