I finally got a mate in under 20 moves, yay! 😀
I played as black, and particularly enjoyed the tricks that commenced on move 13

Originally posted by IDrinkYourMilkshakeFor the record: I did end up winning this one. It took me another ten moves, but I got there. It was my first real game in around ten years, so I'm pretty satisfied.
I recently missed a mate in 18 moves with a huge blunder in my very first game on the site. I don't think I'll ever be able to come back here if I end up losing...
d'oh!!!
