 I love to see all 5 pawns rush down the board like that... so pretty.

Dubious opening play from my opponent, followed by boneheaded play from myself, and top it off with a glorious swindle at the end....
As bad as my play was during most of this game. I thought the final idea with b4, Kb2, and Rd3 made up for it. _________________ FIDE 2118, USCF 2073. |

This has gotta be the best finish to a game I've ever had....check out the mate:

I can't let Josh be the only one bragging about his swindles..here's a 15 0 I just played on FICS vs a 1999. I played my normal Qd6 scandinavian, got in some trouble, defended well enough to survive and create a glorious ending. Enjoy!!

Another sweet finish:
White to move and win with a fancy mate (or just a massive material gain). _________________ FIDE 2118, USCF 2073. |

Very pretty, Josh. Congratulations!
I haven't looked at the game yet, but here's my answer to the problem in the diagram. I don't see how Black escapes mate: Hidden Text Below - [Show it] - [Hide it Again] L8erz... =wild= _________________ I know you believe you understand what you think I just said, but you may not realize what I implied is not what you inferred. |

Well... it wasn't pretty but it effectively got the job done.
