This is kind of a fun one. The way it played out, mate is forced on move 19. Black's 18th move was a bit of a blunder, but there was an unstoppable mating attack on anyway. See if you can spot it (it's fairly easy as all the moves are forced).

It wasn't that I played well, as much as my opponent played poorly.


I was white.
