On 55., you should have went Qe1+, then he goes to 55. Kg2, then you go 56. Qf1#.
...and then you could have beaten KNVB. I was watching that game. I thought you were going to when except after Bxf3+.
15 minutes game Vs. KNVB - ALMOST BEAT HIM
Sort:
Ouch that really does suck. You got really close though.
How can you watch games in progress?

I saw Qe1+, but Rg1 just seemed to end any threat I had, then I'd have to move my queen back. So I went for the interesting bishop sac instead, which he didn't fall for. He did spend about 2 minutes thinking about it though.

On the 'Play Live Chess' option, there should be a tab labelled 'Games'. Each game is 'watch'able.

Actually, Qe1+, Rg1, Qf2, seems brutal... I guess I missed that. Definitely winning that queen there. Unless I'm missing something?

Oh yeah of course! That's why I didn't do that. I'm good at missing easy mates apparently.
But not quite!
This game epitomises complete stupidity on my behalf.
Game won, allowed the most obvious checkmate ever.
He had been playing people 15/0 time standards, trying to beat them in under a minute of his own time. So he beat me twice, I asked for a rematch and then actually played quite well.
I found myself a lot of material up with a huge attack - and then I don't know what happened to me.
I theorise that he possessed me and made me do this move.
Anyway leave comments on what you think - (such as "you're really stupid").
