Quite an easy one to miss, I think, as you don't really expect a mate to be on.

I would have played a bishop down; however, the gamble proved good. I just remembered that game when i saw the thread.

Game 2829615

Under 20 moves, and with both Queens still on the board. Why on Earth does anyone play the Damiano defense?

This is the most incredible game I've played in all my life

This game is a mistery to me. How can a 1585-rated player commit such a suicide?
