11. Nc3
I actually had a moment of brilliance here.

 
11... Qb2
I sac my Rook, seems like I have no choice.

 
12. Nxa4
He takes as expected.

 
12... bxa4
of course. I thought he would take back with his Queen. He didn't, but it turns out I was still able to execute this great mate.

 
13. Bc1
He attacks my Q.. I thought we would get to this position by.. Qx a4 .. Qb1 Qd1 .. Qb2 bc1 But anyway, here are a few moves sooner.

 
13... Bb4+
! I don't think he saw this.

 
14. Bd2
forced.

 
14... a3
Now is where I wasn't sure if I would get a mate or what, but I was pretty sure I could at least get a pawn promoted or get his Queen, or both.

 
15. Qc1
He helped me out though, not realizing that his bishop could not protect his Queen because it was pinned.

 
15... Qxc1#
matey mate mate mate. It was an ugly, ugly game and there are really no lessons to be learned here except that pawnstorming an empty Queenside really serves no purpose. I just thought it was kind of a humorous game.
