19. Rxg7+ Kh8 20. Rxh7+ Kg8 21. Rg1+	Black resigns. His only move was bishop g4 which then will be checkmate.
	3 comments lighttotheright (1200) on 06-Sep-07: chris_davison perfectly played a 4 move mating sequence. I believe that deserves a lot more than the one star that somebody gave this annotation. Good game. chris_davison (1200) on 07-Sep-07: Thanks. Who ever did put one star really needs to thing more about a fantastic queen sacrifice. tcslick420 (1200) on 08-Oct-07: I do admit it was the best move on the board, as it led to a forced mate. However, a good opponent would have easily seen that, so it's not much to brag about.
