You had mate before Qh3 as well. Amazing a player this highly rated missed mate in 1 once. Very amazing (s)he missed it 2 moves running...

Excuse my stupidity but why the resignation here? Qd8 loses material but not enough to warrent resignation in my book.

And I can't see the mate in under 20 either.

A piece down in a worse position. I would resign.

I seen this topic a while ago and i thought all the games i won or lost under 20 moves were due to mistakes but i stumbled upon this one wich i think is pretty much interesting because of the suspense its holding at the end.

Altho its still due to 2 strange moves i believe. 7b - Fxe4 and 15b - e4

From back when I first got going on the site last fall. 19 moves with mate next, so I think it just makes it under the wire. Mate sort of fell out of initially trapping the Q:

Thanks.

I did see position was worse (about 2 pawns down I think) but not bad enough to resign just yet I would think and certainly not a Checkmate in 20 as is required by the thread title.
