Always make that last check before moving...

I do believe my opponent thought he had an easy checkmate here...

It really does illustrate how you should have a last look around before plunging into that brilliant game-winning move!

I don't pretend my play afterwards was all that stunning, but it got the job done. The point of posting this is partly that I'm getting a bit tired of people trying for an immediate mate on f7 in live chess, but mostly so you can all share the jaw-dropping moment of 'PANIC PANIC what did I MISS?' followed by 'a-ha... I do believe that might have been an error'.

I don't believe in gloating - and I've made many, many horrendous blunders myself - so I've obscured my opponent's name.

aplause for the f7 thing. and for the game too.

good of u to block ur opponent's name, rand0m

saves them from !@#$%^&* embarrassment and public humiliation, NON?

That was the idea, yes.

(And thanks, Joao!)
