CHECKMATE in under 20 moves

Nice one Rob 🙂

You are taking it up a notch these days!

I think it is mate in one either move for black

13...Nxh7 14.Qxh7#
13...Kh8 14.Ng6#

Thanks Tim, You are correct.
I didn't see Ng6# 😀 That's beautiful!!

I was going to just sac on knight, capture the rook, then fork K/Q with the other knight for mate...

If I am improving, it's only because I am following the best tactics website on the web... and that would be YOURS. www.tacticstime.com , which in of itself is improving quickly as well. 😀 Great work!

This was bullet chess. I'm posting it because I'd never seen this mate before.

Actually, not a mate under 20. My opponent did forgo the last meaningless move.

I felt this was of interest due to the fact, until Black's 12th move, this was a common position.
e4 is speculative, as I'm setting a few traps, which White's 15. g3 triggers the worst one of, as he was concerned (too much) with Bxh2+.

A recent game of mine with mate at exactly 20 moves.

Game 9333434

Pleased with this one against a stronger opponent
