My 14th move was a blunder, though... 14. Be3 led straight to mate. Oh, well... I'll take it.

Nice. I actually saw that forum a while back and studied the game a bit. I'm impressed. My personal specialty is Fishing Pole traps - where one side gives up a Bishop or Knight to gain control of a file (usually the h-file) next to a Castled King. Here are a few of my games with such a sequence in it. . . .
