I've just played a crazy game that could be GothamChess worthy.

I have the black pieces and the first few moves of the game were just regular London stuff.

This is where things start to be dicey. I launched a kingside attack and kicked out their knight a few times but then the pressure starts mounting.

This is when they sacrificed their knight! I couldn't take back with the pawn because the queen was pinning it to the king and Rxe8 would be unpleasant anyways. I don't know why but for some reason I took back with the rook. This is where they start the king hunt.

In this position, there are no more checks, and I'm threatening the nasty Qxf1+ followed by back rank checkmate! They move their queen to f1 to protect the square and I start pushing my pawns because I don't know what else to do. However, they blundered after playing f3 and played what I thought was smothered mate! However, the queen took the knight, but the pawn promotion was unstoppable.

I decided to take some pawns, but still lost this position after the fork
