	1 comment jfxleigh (1681) on 31-Oct-07: 13...e5 is also good, although I like this too.


14. Nb3 d4 15. Bd2 e5 16. Nf2 Be6 17. Na5 Nxa5 18. Bxa5 f5 19. Re1 Bd6 20. Bxb6+ axb6 21. Bh3 Rxa2 22. c4 Kc7 23. Kc2 Rha8 24. Kb3 b5 25. Kc2 Ra8a3 26. Reb1 bxc4 27. Kd2 c3+ 28. Ke2 c2 29. bxa3 cxb1=Q#	bang. I suppose I should have gotten a rook.
	2 comments archduke_piccolo (2340) on 31-Oct-07: Neat finish. I was going to suggest 29...c1=Qch as tastier, when of course 30.Rb2 defends for just one move, but I had forgotten than Black's d-pawn already covered the e3-square. jfxleigh (1681) on 31-Oct-07: It's not just neat, it's sweet! Good game - thank you.
