Was I right not to take the queen?
Sort:
Sorry - no comments - I'm playing Black (obviously!) After 24 ..,Nxe3+ - would you have taken the queen on the next move? I felt it unnecessary but I wasn't 100%!
well, not taking the Queen does give you the quicker mate in 3:
25...Qg1+, 26.Bf1 Qxf1+, 27.Kd2 Qxd1#
no mater, a mate where the enemy's Queen stands frozen right by her King as he gets taken down is always fun. :)

I would have to agree with that. Sometimes I like to go for the creative mate rather than the easy one.
