Re: Checkmates in 20 moves or less Kind of silly, my opponent played way to fast. For good measure: I am playing white. But I guess the lesson to be learned is that greed is NOT good  What do you think of the 14. Bf4 sacrifice? Too obvious?

Re: Checkmates in 20 moves or less I think 17.Nh6+ leads to a pretty forced mate, but I don't have time to check all the variations. Something like: 17.Nh6+ Kh8 (17...gxh6 18.Qg4#) 18.Bxg7+ Kxg7 19.Qg4+ Kh8 (18...Kxh6 19.Rf5 seems unstoppable) 20.Nxf7+ Rxf7 20.Rxf7 Rg8 21.Qd7 and it isn't clear how Black can avoid being checkmated, even after 21...Ne7 22.Rxe7 Bxe7 23. Qex7 since either 24.Qf6+ or 24.Qe5+ looks devastating and the White rook on d1 can now get to d7 or d8. Of course, that's a lot to see in a blitz game...  One might just have to play 17.Nh6+ on intuition and hope for the best, since Black's king has almost no defenders over there...  Alas, if 17.Qg4 then 17...f6 kills all White's fun...

Re: Checkmates in 20 moves or less Not sure what you mean, Wildman, sorry. It's forced mate after 17. Qg4, as played in the game. 17..f6 doesn't stop it.

Re: Checkmates in 20 moves or less You're right... Duh! Call it a case of chess blindness...

Re: Checkmates in 20 moves or less Ah you're right, that is annoying, I thought I'd played it pretty accurately but obviously not...
