A really nice checkmate - doesn't seem "patzer" at all.
Seeing that you've also beaten Robert - maybe it's time to consider switching to "king of the intermediate players" - although it does lack that original flavor...
By the way - I tried 1...Ne2+ which would amount to the same...

It is only a flash of brilliancy. I still blunder a lot in my games.

So do I, Marco, so do I :-)
Welcome to the real world
Everybody blunders!
An Israeli FM friend of mine (who is easily IM level, at least in blitz, but mostly inactive already) used to say - "I'm nothing but an improved patzer".
With the advent of computer technology - aren't we all?

Interesting.
I know about that.
Once I saw this video and it enphatizes what your friend GM said.
This video is nice because we can feel better about the blunders, because even the top GM blunder too!!

I think I've seen this video :-)
But any experienced player knows many such famous examples.
Apart from this recent Anand-Carlsen thing (which is actually quite advanced for a blunder - nobody below 1900 should consider Carlsen's and Anand's double omission as a real blunder) - what comes to mind is Kramnik blundering a mate in one to a computer, and Nigel Short in a winning position, finding the only move on the board that loses - simply walking his king up the board, into - you guessed it - a mate in one!
