Now the black King is out in the open and white's Queen is coming to join the attack. Black's Queen on the other hand has been on g4 since move 13!

 
21... Kf8
The nail in the coffin. This now leads to a quick mate. The alternative 21...Kd7 continues: 22.Qd4 , 22...Ke6, 23. Qe5 , 23...Kd7, 24.Qe7 .

 
22. Qb4+ c5 23. Qxc5#
1-0. An interesting game that finished earlier than expected, largely due to the difference between white and black's piece development and the poor placement of the black Queen early on. I'd be grateful for any of your comments on this game. Cheers!
