I'd like to thank "How to beat your dad at chess" for this one. Yes, I know could have played Qa8# but it's more prudent to execute in style.

Nice! I wish I could've executed a mate like that in a real game.

Hah, yeah I was really excited when I saw the chance. I don't know if you ever saw the book I was talking about, but it's super, super good! http://www.amazon.com/How-Beat-Your-Chess-Gambit/dp/1901983056/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1451840385&sr=8-1&keywords=how+to+beat+your+dad+at+chess

17. Qg4+ (or 17. Qh3+) wins Black's queen with mate in 3.
