I'm pretty sure that at this point, Dave KNEW what I was planning. I had come up with a mating move, and probably had done so earlier than I ever have in a game with a player of Dave's caliber. |

Knowing he was one move from checkmate, he mentions that he has to keep me in check or knock my queen out of line so he can 86 the bishop. |

I'm pulling [what appear to be] awesome chessmoves out of my ass. Dave is cussing. He is a hater. He hates. It's what he does. |

Dave blocks my mating move. I am sad. I'm struglling for things to do to salvage a mate. I've way ahead of dave, but I'm nervous instead of thinking clearly. I'm too focused on how I can't get the queen to g7, and I completely miss that I have him mated with Bc4. This sort of thing is why I'm still an rookie. |

Dave really gave me hell, and as you can see it's gonna cost me a bishop. |

So now I'm lost. Just looking to clear the 7 or 8 so I can get a rook or queen on one of them

Dave begins attacking. My blunder has breathed new life into his game. |

I didn't figure him to dare bring his queen or rook south with all the ammo I had bearing down on him. |

Fascinating move on Daves part. I know he'd have rather taken a piece from me. |

Nows when I was wishing I hadn't pushed his queen. I'd have him mated. |
