Madness! Why charge up the board with the king like this? After Kf8 there is still work to be done to convert the extra pawn to a victory. |

Forced again. I had a choice of mates in 1. It seemed most appropriate to have the mate where my bishop assists, as it has played such a key role in the attack. Many thanks for reading! Please rate the annotation on the star system and leave a comment or two to let me know how I am doing. Until next time dear reader!
