This is probably my favourite - I walked my Bishop round my Queen on consecutive moves to set the mate up. How he didn't spot it I don't know!

One more - I was getting battered (as usual) but somehow he didn't spot the cheap checkmate I got him with....

Game 3845392

the infamous Queen/ Bishop set up. Everytime I have done this I swear to myself I will commit it to memory, but I can't spot it more than three maybe 4 moves.

Although my opponent played a brilliant d3! on move 8, I managed to win in 16 in this Game 3877130

Game 3880385

I'd say I got lucky. I tried to do something similar to the Smith Morra Gambit though clearly it isn't the smith morra. Comments are welcome.

Very well played. I don't think you got lucky - you thoroughly deserved the win even if 14...Qxe1? looks at first glance rather erm... panicky! Maybe black had given up the ghost at that stage.
You can trace most of black's problems back to a timely e4-e5 at move 8.
