Sick checkmate

Here is my endgame

But here is Houdini's endgame variation, which I thought deserved an applause. 

39. gxf5 

What I thought was so cool was the forced rook move even though checkmate was inevitable. like a weird reverse smothered mate.

starting on move 32 is Houdini's variation lol, I didnt play a "perfect game".

Nice queen trap

I think you missed something people. The Houdini's variation is one sided.

After 33. Qh6, Black has a good answer: Re7 and makes this far from a mate trap.

Houdini shows mate in 10 after Re7

where? I mean I can't see 10 moves ahead easily. A new diagram would help starting from Re7. If possible show it please.

Reminds me of a puzzle (by Morphy?) Mate in 2:

Scottrf

Was thinking exactly the same Waller.

I like the puzzle. I think when I first began chess I just thought of capturing or moving out of the way, it is only recently I started thinking about actual positions, in terms of moving a piece to a space where it is still under attack.

I should tell Cathexis that he or she is famous now. Really I just wanted to show that nice Houdini # since my moves  had several erros after the opening. Thank you for the calculation Viktor!

39. Qh6xc3 seems slightly dubious. However, d6 is mate, but not as fast as Qg5!!!
