Thought I did pretty well this game (https://www.chess.com/live/game/2491404115). I managed to get a lot of pressure against his king but couldn't see a path to actual compensation. Instead of going for something desperate I just kept trying to improve the position of my pieces and eventually black's defense cracked in a spectacular fashion.
The victory was tainted slightly by my opponent's abusive messages in chat following the game. Since Chess.com has no mechanism for reporting abuse and he's a paying member, he'll probably just go on spewing racist insults whenever he loses. But whatever, no insult can take the sting out of a mate like that.
